LMHC, 6 years of experience
I help adults struggling to form deep and meaningful relationships with others as a result of lonely or painful childhood experiences. My ideal client is motivated for change and is open to developing a curiosity about his or her inner experiences. As a therapist, I am relationship-focused and believe that, while it does not define us, our early life experiences form templates from which we operate in our lives. Sometimes those templates or "old ways" no longer work for us meaningfully and we find ourselves stuck. My ideal client is open to assessing relationships with others, themselves, and past experiences to bring vibrancy and enrichment to their lives. Should this be you, I want to empower you by building awareness and insight from a holistic/integrative perspective so you can respond to life with choice and freedom. You deserve to breathe easier.
In the first session we review standard therapy matters such as paperwork signed, confidentiality, and consent for treatment. I find that by the first session, clients may have mixed feelings of eagerness and/or nervousness to get started. We dive right in by discussing what led you to treatment and background information which may give me context. I complete a thorough history with clients in the first session so that in our second session, we can jump back in and get to work.
I am thankful for my ability to be grounded with clients in their pain or dysregulation. Even when a client feels out of sorts, overwhelmed, hurting, or that whatever they are feeling is too big/much, I am confident in my ability to navigate that space with you and be present. We can move through it together.

ACT helps people learn new ways to handle difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. I work with clients to focus on what really matters to them and to take steps toward living a life that feels meaningful. This method supports both acceptance of life’s challenges and taking action toward personal goals.
I use EMDR to help people work through painful memories or experiences that still affect them today. This approach allows the brain to process these memories in a healthier way, so they feel less overwhelming and don’t hold the same power over daily life. Many clients find relief from stress, anxiety, or trauma after using EMDR. I also integrate ego state work and attachment based work in EMDR to further resources for clients.
I approach therapy with an understanding that past experiences, especially painful or traumatic ones, can shape how we think, feel, and act today. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard and respected. Together, we focus on building coping skills, healing, and moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.
This method explores how our early relationships affect the way we connect with others now. I help clients understand patterns in their relationships and support them in building healthier, more secure connections. The focus is on creating stronger self-worth and more fulfilling relationships in the present.
