I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, identity exploration, chronic illness, chronic pain, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult relationships or emotionally painful experiences. I have a particular focus on supporting LGBTQIA clients, college and graduate students, first responders, and people living with chronic illness, invisible disabilities, or stress that others may not fully understand. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting more than symptom relief. They want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and build a life that feels more manageable and authentic.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to the individual. I draw from EMDR, CBT, Schema Therapy, relational-cultural therapy, interpersonal process work, DBT-informed skills, and humanistic therapy to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, strengthen insight, and shift painful patterns that no longer serve them.
Healing happens best in a space where you feel seen, respected, and safe to be yourself. If you’re looking for a therapist who offers warmth, insight, and care tailored to your needs, I’d be glad to connect.
