About me

I’m a compassionate therapist who walks alongside clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, and early-life trauma. As a Certified Grief Therapist, I understand how heavy loss and emotional wounds can feel, and I’m committed to offering a space where you can breathe, open up, and feel truly supported. I integrate CBT with trauma-informed care to help you gently shift unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and reclaim your sense of empowerment. Together, we’ll work toward healing, self-connection, and creating a life that feels safer, steadier, and more your own.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we’ll work together to understand what you’ve been navigating and identify the strengths you’re already using to get through each day. We’ll talk about your goals, how you want to feel, and how therapy can support you in building confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I help clients uncover and build on the strengths they already carry within them, even during times when they feel lost or overwhelmed. I work together with you in a supportive, goal-focused way, using CBT and trauma-informed tools to help you feel confident and empowered. help clients untangle patterns rooted in anxiety, grief, depression, or past trauma, and work with them to develop coping strategies that create lasting change. What often stands out for clients is the sense of clarity, emotional relief, and increased self-confidence they experience, as well as the safe, supportive environment in which they can do this work.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or carrying grief that feels too heavy to hold alone, I’m here for you. If parts of your childhood still affect you today, or you’re longing to feel stronger, safer, and more grounded, you’re in the right place. You deserve support, relief, and empowerment and together, we can help you reconnect with the strength you may have forgotten you had.
