In a fast-paced world that often leaves little room for self-reflection, you may find yourself feeling stuck in unfulfilling circumstances, struggling to build healthier habits, or overwhelmed by stress, grief, or life transitions. These experiences are part of being human—and you don’t have to navigate them alone. I offer a person-centered, trauma-informed space where self-discovery, healing, and meaningful change can take root. My goal is to help you better understand and accept yourself, express your needs, and live a life aligned with your values.
I offer treatment approaches including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT. I am based in a private group practice (The Sanctuary) which enables the knowledge and skill of our whole treatment team to serve our entire client base through case consultations and collaborations between all of our qualified providers that protects private health information.
Reaching out to a new person, like me, can feel intimidating. However, it may be your first step to treating yourself like a priority. The phone number and e-mail provided will allow you to speak with The Sanctuary group practice office staff to request an intake and linkage with me so I can walk beside you on your journey providing professional guidance.

To address unresolved trauma I often pair EMDR for the majority of the session with active practice of grounding skills/mindfulness skills from DBT to close the session. To address more contemporary concerns I often weave together ACT to promote value-based decision making and lifestyle practices with CBT and DBT to reframe and defuse from negative self-talk and unhelpful self-schemas.
