I work with people who wonder why life feels a lot harder for them compared to everyone else. My clients often feel lonely or disconnected, and like they never really fit in. This might come from being neurodivergent, growing up in a high-control religion, living in a rigid family system, or feeling more self-aware than those around them. I work with care, curiosity, and creativity, using approaches rooted in mindfulness and evidence-based practices. My goal is to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom so you can move through life with clarity, confidence, and compassion—for yourself and for others.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with—we’ll go at your pace. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood from the start.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I relate to clients on a human to human level. Having experienced my own journey of mental health healing and growth, I bring genuine empathy and a real understanding to the work we do together. This allows me to connect with you in a way that feels supportive, honest, and meaningful.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Feeling like the black sheep or like there must be something "wrong" with you is deeply painful, and if you are someone who feels this way, you understand how easily anxiety, depression, and self-doubt take hold.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
I have extensive experience using an integrative therapy approach in my practice. This means I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and adapt them to meet each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.
Trauma Informed Care
I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy, recognizing how past experiences shape emotions, relationships, and coping patterns. I believe healing isn’t always about changing or fixing—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you and reconnecting with your most authentic self. My role is to walk alongside you in this process, helping you recognize your own strength, wisdom, and capacity for growth so that you can move forward with a greater sense of trust in yourself.
EMDR
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy that helps process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity of past trauma. EMDR is a type of therapy that works both the mind and the body, helping you to tap into your brain’s natural ability to heal.
Supportive
My approach is centered on meeting you where you are, offering guidance, reflection, and practical tools without pressure or judgment.
