Change begins with courage—and you’ve already taken the first step by exploring therapy. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or psychosis, as well as those healing from trauma. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can both accept yourself and make meaningful changes toward a more fulfilling life.
I’m trained in EMDR and trauma-informed care to help clients process painful experiences and build resilience. I also use DBT techniques to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships, and incorporate mindfulness tools like meditation and yoga to restore balance and clarity.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process—one where we work together to uncover what helps you feel more grounded, confident, and satisfied in your life. If you’re ready to begin that journey, click the website button to schedule an appointment today.
