I believe in whole-person care—therapy that supports your mental and emotional health while also considering the bigger picture of your life. That means we’ll talk about what’s weighing on you, but we may also explore things like sleep, nutrition, relationships, and your environment—because it’s all connected.
My work is grounded in a mix of evidence-based approaches, including somatic therapy, CBT, EMDR, and systems theory. But more than any single method, I focus on building a collaborative, real relationship and tailoring each session to what’s actually useful for you.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, trauma, identity shifts, disordered eating, and just the general overwhelm of being human. I also bring extensive experience supporting specific populations, including first responders and law enforcement, as well as women in the prenatal and postpartum period.
I understand the unique pressures and emotional weight that can come with both service-based roles and major life transitions.
Wherever you’re starting from, therapy can be a space to make sense of what you’re carrying—and begin to feel more like yourself again.
