Warm• Integrative• Trauma-Informed• Evidence-Based• Many people come to therapy when life stops feeling manageable—stress builds, emotions feel heavy, relationships strain, or old wounds resurface. You don’t have to face and navigate these moments alone. Therapy offers a steady, supportive space to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward healing. My approach is grounded in a safe, trusting relationship. Clients often feel heard, understood, & genuinely supported. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, trauma-focused care, EMDR, and mind–body strategies tailored to your needs. You deserve care, clarity, and support.
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both insight and practical skills. I help you explore patterns, emotions, and beliefs with curiosity—not judgment—while also developing tools to navigate stress, relationships, and daily challenges. I aim to create a calm, steady space where you can slow down, reflect, and build emotional resilience.
Reaching out can feel intimidating, but you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. In our initial conversation, we’ll talk about what brings you in and how we might work together. My goal is to make the process comfortable, clear, and centered around what feels right for you. If you're ready or simply curious let's connect.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and identify practical ways to move forward. CBT helps us understand how thoughts affect emotions and experiences. I also integrate motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness to tailor care to your needs.
