If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a painful life transition, or carrying the weight of past experiences, you don’t have to face it alone. You may be someone who holds everything together on the outside but feels exhausted inside. If you’re stuck in patterns of worry or self-doubt, therapy can help. Together, we’ll create space to process, gain clarity, and use practical tools to help you feel more grounded, stable, and like yourself again.
Using a collaborative, practical approach grounded in evidence-based practices, I integrate CBT, DBT-informed skills, and EMDR. Our work is tailored to your needs, helping you process challenges, reduce anxiety, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
You can feel seen, supported, and understood. Together, we’ll connect patterns, build clarity, and strengthen boundaries and self-trust. Faith can be included if desired. If you’re ready for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I use approaches that make the most sense for each individual. I enjoy using Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) because I have seen positive, tangible results for my clients. I also utilize DBT skills to help with emotion & nervous system regulation when clients report feeling out of whack. CBT can also be helpful for unhelpful thought spirals and outdated belief systems.
