Healing is a process of reconnecting with your inner wisdom, resilience, and sense of self. As an EMDR therapist, I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem through a holistic approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit. I identify as spiritual but not religious, and this perspective meaningfully informs my work. I hold space for intuition, personal meaning, and the deeper, less tangible aspects of healing that often go beyond words. EMDR therapy helps resolve root causes of distress, supporting nervous system regulation and relief from long-held emotional burdens. Reiki, energy perspectives, and symbolic frameworks (like tarot and archetypes) shape how I understand patterns and inner guidance but are not a substitute for psychotherapy. I approach my work with care and respect for each client’s beliefs. Any spiritual or intuitive exploration is always optional, collaborative, and guided by your comfort, interest, and consent. My priority is to create a grounded, inclusive space where all parts of you—emotional, physical, and spiritual—are welcome.
Our first meeting is about gathering information. I will ask you a series of questions about your mental health history and go over practice policies and discuss your goals for therapy. It is also your opportunity to ask me any questions you have (I greatly encourage this!).
I am authentic, inquisitive, and have a sense of humor. Working with adults from various life stages has allowed me to help my clients identify the root causes of challenges and create tailored plans that lead to measurable progress. Coming from a single-parent, multi-racial background, I am able to connect with my clients on unique challenges related to sense of identity, concepts of resilience, challenges with self-expression, and differentiation.

My ideal clients are individuals navigating the lasting impact of trauma while seeking deeper meaning, healing, and connection within themselves. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship challenges, yet hold a strong desire for growth and transformation. They are open to exploring both the emotional and spiritual aspects of their experiences, and are curious about how past wounds have shaped their identity, beliefs, and sense of safety. These clients value authenticity and are willing to engage in both practical tools and deeper, insight-oriented work at their own pace. They are seeking not just relief, but alignment—a stronger sense of self, healthier relationships, and a more grounded, empowered way of moving through life.
Integrative
I have been using an integrative style for over 5 years. I use a combination of evidenced-based techniques--such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), humanistic, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)-- to offer a flexible, personalized approach to meet your unique goals in a comprehensive, holistic way.
EMDR
I help clients reprocess traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation-like eye movements or tapping-to reduce emotional distress, promote healing, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve emotional regulation.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I am a champion of self-awareness and use mindfulness interventions in therapy sessions to help you get to know yourself on a deeper level, induce relaxation, and ground in the present moment.
