(she/her)
As a therapist, my approach is open, non-judgmental, and collaborative. My goal is to create an empowering environment because ultimately, you are the expert in your own life. I specialize in trauma, mood disorders (depression and anxiety), and perinatal mental health. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This form of therapy has been shown to be effective for individuals who have survived traumatic experiences and/or who have experienced complex developmental trauma throughout their lives. With experience working with diverse diagnoses and populations, I visualize therapy as a journey where I walk alongside to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
Our first session where you and I can decide if this is a good fit for you. We'll explore your needs, define your expectations, and pinpoint a few areas where you'd like to see some growth. I'll offer some ideas for navigating towards your goals, and you will see if that resonates with you. The goal of the first session is simply to see if I can be the best resource for you.
Having worked with diverse populations for the past five years, I have walked with clients through everyday stressors to life changing events. I will meet you where you are at while also keeping you accountable for your goals. I am known for my empathetic and honest approach. I will always give you a choice, and create a safe space for your empowerment.
My ideal client is someone who is seeking a supportive, non-judgmental space to better understand themselves and move toward meaningful change. They may be navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or the emotional complexities of the perinatal or postpartum period, and are looking for both compassion and direction in their healing process. I’m best positioned to serve clients who are willing to explore their experiences at their own pace while also engaging in the work of growth. You don’t have to feel fully ready or have everything clearly defined; curiosity, openness, and even a bit of uncertainty are more than enough to begin. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and are looking to rebuild a sense of control, clarity, and emotional balance. Clients who tend to benefit most from working with me are those interested in processing past experiences, including trauma, and developing practical tools to manage present-day challenges. With my training in EMDR and experience across diverse populations, I support individuals in making sense of their experiences while empowering them to move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

Humanistic
Rooted in the lens of humanistic principles, I strongly believe the client holds the full potential of self growth and change. Together, we will partner to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. I utilize a range of interventions to effectively support your journey.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a trauma-informed therapist, my practice reflects the use of trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based CBT. I will weave CBT in a comprehensive personalized treatment plan. This may look like using CBT in a structure format from skill building to in-session practicing and homework to being able to incorporate CBT skills as different coping mechanisms.
EMDR
I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process and resolve traumatic memories, effectively removing distress. I offer the ability to do virtual EMDR.
Relational
Drawing on Relational Cultural Theory, I have a deep appreciation of recognizing that we exist in the context of relationships with each other. I empower my clients to examine the influences in their lives and develop healthy awareness of how they view relationships.

Once again always feel so heard never had a therapist understand me as much as her.

I can’t say enough good things about her. It’s only been 4 weeks, but it feels like I’ve known her my whole life. She so easy to talk to and she makes it so comfortable. I truly feel like I’m going to overcome my trauma and that’s thanks to her. I couldn’t be more thankful. She’s helps you talk through the most difficult things and is so empowering teaches you to be exactly that. I can’t imagine talking about my trauma with anyone else, she just gets it.
