LMHC, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m a licensed therapist who helps individuals heal from anxious attachment, trauma, and relationship challenges so they can build deeper self-trust and healthier connections. I work with clients who often feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, and I guide them toward self-awareness, confidence, and alignment with their authentic selves. My approach is warm and empowering, and I integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR to help clients process past experiences, set boundaries, and develop a secure sense of self. My goal is to help you break free from patterns that no longer serve you and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll learn to move from survival mode to self-acceptance, finding clarity and peace as you step into your power.
For our first session we will go over my practice policies and confidentiality to start. Then we will jump into what brings you to therapy. I do not have an overly clinical approach to intake sessions so it usually flows from present concerns and history/background to help me get the full picture. Sometimes first sessions are all history and sometimes it is jumping right in to what you are going through. My goal is to meet you where you are from the very first session.
I have my own lived experiences and believe we are always a work in progress but we can break from the impact of trauma. I am a real person who brings my real personality and experiences into session when appropriate.
I am very passionate about helping women and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
I use attachment-based treatment to help clients learn and explore their attachment style which is helpful when navigating relationships.
I use EMDR to help clients change limiting beliefs they have about themselves, reprocess trauma, and alleviate core wounds that keep us stuck in cycles.
I provide gender-affirming care to support and validate clients wherever they are on their identify journey.
I believe strongly in the importance of the therapeutic bond and bring my own personality into sessions to develop a healthy and caring relationship that the client can learn from and apply to life outside of therapy.
In all aspects of my practice, I operate with a trauma informed outlook to create a peaceful and safe space for the client to work on themselves.
