New to Grow
Navigating through life has many challenges and it is easy to get lost along the way. It's common to fall into a cycle of overthinking, fearing failure and drowning in memories that keep us stuck in the past. But you are not alone! I specialize in treating attachment wounds, trauma, anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflicts. My therapeutic style combines evidence based practices (such as CBT, TF-CBT, EMDR) with holistic mind-body techniques to achieve life long wellness. Outside my private practice I am a school based mental health therapist and dog mom to two therapy dogs, Murphy and Bentley . I love the outdoors and am passionate about bringing nutrition and holistic wellness to my life and practice. Together we will discover any personal barriers or old patterns of thinking that keep you stuck and uncover and strengthen your true potential to empower your life.
I create a safe, authentic and supportive environment and provide the necessary tools to achieve lasting transformation. I use a client-centered approach, meaning therapy is guided by your goals, your pace, and what feels most meaningful to you. I would be honored to travel with you on your journey to wellness!

Other specialties
I identify as
Attachment-based
I use attachment based treatment that focuses on how an individual's early relationships with primary caregivers shape their adult emotional health, behaviors, and relationship patterns.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized, evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional distress. It is highly effective for PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented psychotherapy used to treat mental health disorders by modifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is widely considered a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma.
Mind-body approach
Emotional distress isn't just cognitive; it often manifests as physical tension, chronic pain, or nervous system dysregulation. Therefore, I utilize a mind-body approach that does not rely solely on traditional talk therapy, but techniques that help release trauma stored in the body, regulate the nervous system, and help manage conditions like anxiety and chronic stress.
Positive Psychology
I use a positive psychology approach in mental health that focuses on cultivating strengths, resilience, and overall well-being rather than just treating illness. It aims to help individuals thrive by fostering positive emotions, healthy relationships, and a sense of meaning in life, serving as a powerful, preventive complement to traditional therapies.
