LCSW, 6 years of experience
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Are you feeling unsatisfied in your relationships or find yourself wanting more out of life? Whatever brought you here, you've taken a first step toward change. My approach blends practical tools from CBT and DBT with somatic work and EMDR—so you not only learn to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors but also understand how the body holds onto experiences and how to release them. This combination of evidence-based techniques and genuine conversation helps you create real, lasting change.
Our first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll take time to learn about your history, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’d like to get out of therapy. At the same time, you’ll get a feel for me and my style so we can decide if we’re the right fit.
I’m trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, from CBT and DBT to EMDR, somatic work, and parts work. But I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. Every person is different, and what works for one client may not work for another. My goal is to tailor our sessions to you, your personality, your goals, and what you’ve already tried. I draw from different approaches to find what will help you reach lasting results the fastest, in a way that feels natural and effective for you.
I work with high-achieving individuals and creatives who are feeling burnt out, anxious, or stuck in cycles of overthinking. Many of my clients are juggling demanding careers, relationships, and a desire to feel more fulfilled; but don’t know how to slow down without losing their edge. Together, we work on reducing stress, improving relationships, and finding a sense of balance that actually lasts.
I use EMDR to help clients process unresolved memories, trauma, and negative beliefs that still impact their relationships, confidence, and self-worth. Through guided bilateral stimulation, we reduce the emotional charge of past events so you can respond to the present with more clarity, ease, and self-trust.
I use somatic therapy to help clients reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and regulate emotions stored physically. This approach builds awareness of how anxiety, stress, and past experiences show up in the body, so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and in control during dating, intimacy, and everyday life.
I use CBT to help clients identify and change the unhelpful thought patterns that drive anxiety, avoidance, or low confidence. We work together to replace self-defeating beliefs with realistic, empowering perspectives — so you can take action, communicate effectively, and create the relationships and life you want.
