LCSW, 10 years of experience
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who values authenticity, empathy, and real-world support. My approach is grounded and collaborative—I don’t just sit back and listen; I walk alongside you. I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment, and honoring the full complexity of their lived experience. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity, relationship struggles, or life transitions, I offer a space where it’s safe to be honest, messy, and human. I bring a calm, compassionate presence and work with you to identify what’s working, what’s not, and what healing can look like—on your terms. My style is transparent, flexible, and rooted in helping you feel more connected, empowered, and clear.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and anything you think is important I understand. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—we’ll move at your pace. This process is fluid; sometimes what we think we need shifts as we grow, and that’s okay.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to meet clients where they are—with compassion, honesty, and flexibility. I’m transparent in the process, and if we need to shift gears along the way, we’ll do that. This is your journey.
I work best with people who are ready to look a little deeper, whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or relationship struggles.
I approach therapy by engaging clients as whole human beings, not just a set of symptoms or challenges. Grounded in empathy, respect, and authenticity, I aim to create a space where people feel safe to be themselves and explore what matters most to them.
I help clients develop a more kind and understanding relationship with themselves, especially when they struggle with shame, self-criticism, or painful past experiences.
I support clients in exploring and reshaping the stories they tell about themselves. By identifying dominant narratives and uncovering overlooked strengths, we work together to build more empowering and authentic self-understandings.
I use EMDR to help clients process and heal from distressing memories and trauma. By targeting the root of emotional and physiological responses, EMDR supports meaningful shifts in how clients experience themselves and the world.
I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate challenges with compassion and clarity. My approach supports each person in feeling heard while working together toward shared goals and a stronger connection.

He was very calm and kind, and the energy of the session was relaxing. He helped me understand and validated the solutions I had already figured out. He explained why those solutions worked and gave me helpful homework to continue making progress. He welcomed my questions, and I never felt rushed at the end. Out of all the therapists I have seen, he is the only one who made me feel genuine progress in my mental health. He truly listened and helped me problem-solve.
