Embarking on a healing journey takes bravery and curiosity, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. As a therapist, I'm here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can work through life's challenges and start to heal. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, empowerment, and evidence-based practices, with a focus on trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.
Trauma can affect how we think, feel, and act—often in ways we don't even realize. I'm trained in EMDR, a powerful therapy that helps people process painful memories, ease distressing symptoms, and reclaim their sense of safety and control.
I also work closely with people dealing with anxiety—especially those going through big changes like becoming a parent, facing infertility, or adjusting to a new phase of life. Whether you're overwhelmed, stuck, or just trying to keep your head above water, I'm here to support you with practical tools and genuine care.
Above all, I want to help you build a stronger relationship with the most important person in your life: you. In our sessions, you can expect empathy, honesty, humor, and absolutely no judgment. Let's figure it out together—one step at a time.
“You are the sky. Everything else—it’s just the weather.” -Pema Chodron
