LMFT, 13 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a warm, experienced therapist who helps clients heal and navigate life after traumatic experiences and toxic relationships. With extensive experience working alongside students, professionals and veterans, my approach is tailored to meet you where you are. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and EMDR helps you move through pain, regain clarity, and restore hope. If you’ve been carrying pain, shame, or uncertainty for a long time, it’s easy to believe that change is impossible. But I’ve seen over and over again that when someone is given the right environment—one where they feel seen, valued, and supported—they can rebuild, heal, and grow in ways they never imagined. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do it perfectly. You don’t have to be “ready” in the way you might think. You just have to be willing to show up, exactly as you are, and let the process unfold.
Your first session is a gentle starting point—no pressure, no expectations to share more than you’re ready for. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what brought you here, and exploring what you’d like to get out of therapy. I’ll ask some questions to understand your story, your strengths, and the challenges you’re facing, and you’ll have space to ask me anything about how I work. Together, we’ll begin shaping goals that feel realistic and supportive. Most importantly, you’ll leave knowing this is a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll take it one step at a time.
I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep commitment to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your story at your own pace. My approach blends compassion with evidence-based tools like EMDR, CBT, and DBT, allowing us to address both the emotional and practical sides of healing. I’m skilled at helping clients untangle the impact of trauma, grief, and toxic relationships while fostering resilience, self-trust, and clarity. I meet you where you are—whether you need gentle support, direct guidance, or space to simply be heard—and together we create a path toward lasting change, meaning, and hope.
If you’re here, you might be grieving a loss, healing from trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns that leave you anxious, depressed, or disconnected. Maybe you’ve left a toxic relationship, are struggling in your marriage or family, or are navigating a life change that’s left you unsure of who you are now. You want relief, clarity, and a safe space to be heard without judgment. In our work together, you can arrive exactly as you are—tired, tearful, or uncertain—and know that you’re enough. We’ll move at your pace, exploring your story, building tools for change, and helping you reconnect with your voice, purpose, and hope.
CBT helps us to explore and reshape unhelpful thoughts that cloud your view to decrease intensity.
DBT provides skills to support your growth in facing distress and enhancing relationships while guiding you toward understanding & acceptance.
EMDR helps rewire the brain and trauma memories to bring relief & safety.
