About me
I believe that effective therapy is built on insight, action, and compassion. I enjoy working with individuals who want better for themselves and are ready to move forward, even if they’re still figuring out where to begin. In therapy, I focus on building connection and trust, creating a space where you can feel safe to explore what’s really going on without judgment. Together, we’ll look at patterns that keep you feeling stuck and find supportive, practical ways to start shifting them right away—so you can feel more grounded, authentic, and empowered in your life.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your goals, background, and what’s been feeling difficult lately, while making sure you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll start creating a plan that feels realistic, safe, and tailored to your needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is offering a perspective that helps people see things in new ways—especially those who haven’t found therapy helpful in the past. I combine empathy with direct, transparent feedback to help clients feel both supported and challenged in meaningful ways. My approach is practical, compassionate, and focused on real progress, helping you connect insight to action and create changes that last.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are people who have been through painful or challenging experiences but still have hope that their lives can improve. They may have learned to disconnect or shut down emotionally for a time as a way to cope, but now they’re ready to feel more present and connected again. They’re open to self-reflection, willing to take small, meaningful steps, and committed to creating real healing and lasting change.

My treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier ways of thinking and responding. I focus on making CBT practical and personalized—helping clients develop coping skills they can use right away in daily life. I use trauma-focused CBT approaches to help clients safely process painful experiences, understand their triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and self-trust.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process and release painful or traumatic memories by safely reworking how those experiences are stored in the brain, allowing them to feel calmer, more present, and less controlled by past events.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients build emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills so they can manage intense feelings, set healthy boundaries, and create more stability and balance in their lives.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients develop greater psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult emotions, stay present, and take meaningful actions that align with their personal values and goals.
Strength-Based
I take a strength-based approach, helping clients recognize and build on the skills, values, and resilience they already have. Rather than focusing only on what’s “wrong,” I help clients identify what’s working and use those strengths to create meaningful, lasting change.
