Life’s most difficult experiences—grief, trauma, and shame—can feel overwhelming and isolating. As a therapist with an MSW and extensive training in multiple evidence-based approaches, I understand that healing is not only possible but can lead to profound growth and renewed hope.
My therapeutic approaches include ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I am able to tailor our work together to what fits best for you.
My style is warm, empathic, and non-directive—I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you discover your own wisdom and resilience. I use gentle humor when appropriate, as laughter can be surprisingly healing, and I’m committed to making therapy feel educational and empowering rather than overwhelming.

I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) because, frankly, they work. DBT gives you practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions and building the life you want, while EMDR helps process traumatic memories so they stop hijacking your present moment. I interweave Somatic and IFS as well.
