(She/Her)
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I help adults heal from chronic anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of childhood, family, and relational trauma. Often, our past wounds show up in the present as constant self-doubt, need for validation, people-pleasing, or a nervous system that always feels on high alert. Utilizing a compassionate blend of inner child exploration, cognitive tools, and somatic (mind-body) grounding, I support you in understanding how your past shapes your present. Together, we will work to break old patterns so you can build healthier relationships, set boundaries without guilt, and live with genuine clarity and self-trust. My approach is collaborative, predictable, and rooted in providing practical tools for lasting change.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we begin building a foundation of trust. We will talk about what is bringing you to therapy today, your current challenges, and a high-level view of your background-including your relationships and past experiences. We will move entirely at your pace; you will never be rushed to share more than you are ready to. Together, we will explore your goals, look at what healing looks like for you, and create a collaborative, steady game plan so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.
As a provider, I would say my greatest strengths lie in my ability to listen deeply and create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences. I have a strong understanding of how early trauma can shape current behaviors and thought patterns, which allows me to tailor interventions and approaches that promote healing.
I’m best positioned to support adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or fear of conflict—especially those who grew up feeling emotionally unsupported or who carry unresolved childhood wounds. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but struggle internally with shame, hyper-independence, or difficulty trusting others. I work especially well with individuals who are ready to explore their inner world, understand their patterns, and begin the deep work of healing from attachment trauma and generational pain.
Other specialties
I identify as
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes emotional safety, trust, and empowerment. I help clients heal by integrating inner child work, attachment theory, and somatic tools to gently process trauma without re-triggering, while honoring their pace and resilience. Through this collaborative process, my goal is to help you shift out of a constant state of survival or exhaustion, so you can feel deeply grounded in your body and secure in your relationships.
Psychodynamic
I use a psychodynamic approach to help clients explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns influence their current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This insight-based work supports lasting change by bringing awareness to what’s beneath the surface.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationships shape their sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. In therapy, we explore attachment patterns and work toward building healthier, more secure connections—both with others and within themselves.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients make space for difficult emotions, reduce avoidance, and reconnect with their core values. Through mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action, clients learn to move forward with more clarity, self-compassion, and purpose—even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, shift reactive behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, clients gain practical tools to manage anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm in their daily lives.
