(she/her)
I work with individuals who want to move beyond simply managing day-to-day challenges and toward understanding the deeper roots of what they’re experiencing. My approach focuses not only on coping strategies, but on helping you explore where patterns, emotions, and reactions come from so we can address them at their source. As that deeper work unfolds, many people find that their day-to-day symptoms naturally begin to ease. I incorporate EMDR into much of my work, not only for trauma but also as a tool for processing a wide range of experiences and concerns. I see therapy as collaborative. We work together, but I also believe that you are the most important resource in this process. My role is to support, guide, and help you access the insight and resilience you already carry within you.
Our first session will be a welcoming space for us to get to know one another and explore whether we are the right fit to work together. From there, we will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a thoughtful plan to help you move toward them. I am here to help you and if I am not the best person to help you reach your goals, I will support you in finding someone who is.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your experiences and working toward what matters most to you—whether that’s finding relief from symptoms or managing life’s daily stressors. I also have extensive experience working with police, dispatchers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other first responders, as well as members of the armed forces, and I understand the unique challenges that come with those roles.

EMDR
I have had great success in assisting clients with processing their past traumas by utilizing a combination of EMDR with CBT. This process has been instrumental in helping clients to reduce or eliminate subsequent somatic effects of their past experiences, such as symptoms which contribute to diagnoses of depression and anxiety.
