07/15/26 - In Waitlist status, likely until October. - - - - - As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective support to your individual challenges, to help you reach your goals, and celebrate successes with you. I particularly enjoy helping people heal from trauma, build resiliency, and grow self-confidence. The clients I work with want to learn how to better regulate their emotions, self-validate, and gain insight into stuck patterns and behaviors so they can move forward with authenticity and inner strength.
I have over a decade of experience in my specialities of PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. I also have advanced training in the modalities of EMDR, DBT, and IFS. My style is trauma-informed and eclectic so we can work on your individual treatment goals with the modality and pace that is best for you. I am relaxed, humorous, and a little quirky!
I strive to create a safe and trusting environment where you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, without fear of judgment. By fostering empowerment and resilience, I aim to facilitate positive changes that enhance overall well-being and promote lasting mental wellness. I look forward to hearing from you!

A typical session with me can start with a short grounding activity, review of any homework or insights, exploring what has happened since last session, and collaborating on how best to spend the time together. We can process through EMDR or IFS, learn skills, or talk about your experiences and needs. We often review what was helpful or unhelpful for you, and make a plan for between sessions.
