I strive to create a space where you have the ability to heal from your past and the freedom to pursue a life worth living. I want to help you explore the connection between your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Whether in person or video therapy, we will work together to help you achieve your goals. Through compassion, encouragement, honesty, and humor, we will collaborate to find tools, techniques and skills to help you foster new growth in your life.
Psychotherapy is a journey that promotes authenticity and inspires change, two opposing experiences that can exist at the same time. My goal as your therapist is to meet you in the space of holding both, helping you feel understood and supported no matter what challenges you are facing. I am EMDR and Advanced A.R.T. trained.
I work with individuals ages 18 and older struggling with a variety of concerns including stress management, depression, anxiety, trauma, prenatal and postpartum challenges, substance abuse and relationship distress. With my training, I use a holistic approach to address the whole self- mind, body and spirit.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

As a recent graduate I've had exposure to several modalities and am exploring what theoretical approach works best for me and my clients. I am EMDR and A.R.T. trained and currently work mostly with trauma taking a person-centered approach. My background is in law enforcement and the legal system, so I am able to relate and connect with individuals who work in that environment.
