I provide treatment for children, adolescents, and adults in a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to openly explore their thoughts and feelings and achieve positive change. As an empathic listener, I help guide clients toward reaching their personal goals while learning skills to deal with challenges they face. I mainly use person-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

Using EMDR, CPT, attachment-focused therapy, and nervous-system-informed approaches, I help you process painful experiences at a pace that supports safety and stability. Together, we build practical tools to manage anxiety, emotional flooding, shutdown, dissociation, and other trauma responses while working toward lasting healing, resilience, and a stronger sense of connection to yourself and others.

Youth and young adults who may be navigating trauma, mood swings, anxiety, or struggles with self-worth and identity often carry more than they let on. Many feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, but aren’t sure how to break free. There’s a deep desire to feel more in control, more grounded, and more connected to who they are and who they’re becoming. They’re not looking for a quick fix; they’re looking for space to be real, to feel safe without judgment, and to grow into their fullest, truest selves.

Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and emotions—often without much space to slow down or feel supported. Many of the people I work with are capable, insightful, and deeply caring, yet feel emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves after spending so long holding everything together. They are often high-functioning but tired of living in survival mode and ready for something steadier and more peaceful.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and mind-body disconnection. I’m a trauma-trained therapist who also identifies as a person with a physical disability, which informs my work in a deeply compassionate, disability-affirming way. Many of my clients come to me wanting a therapist who truly understands the intersection of mental health, trauma, and identity—and who supports healing without forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. My practice centers on creating a space where you can feel grounded, understood, and gently challenged.

You’ve spent years holding it all together — strong, capable, and always there for everyone else. But lately, you’re tired. Anxious. Disconnected from who you really are. You wonder if anyone truly sees you… or if even you do.

I believe that a person is more than what brings them into therapy. An individual has various interests, needs, intersecting identities, early experiences, and goals. Therefore, I value the therapeutic relationship, establishing a relationship built in collaboration and trust, so that each client has a safe space to explore their narratives, their values, and wellness. I mainly pulls from humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches, offering a space of non-judgment as one examines thoughts, behaviors, and feelings; however, I aim to meet the client where they are at in their wellness journey.
