(she/her)
Life can feel heavy sometimes, and reaching out for support is a brave and powerful first step. I'm here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on and begin the process of healing and growth. I was drawn to this work because I’ve always been fascinated by how people heal, grow, and rebuild—even after really tough experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked with so many incredible individuals who’ve taught me about strength, vulnerability, and the power of connection. Being a therapist is more than a job to me—it’s something I feel truly honored to do. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and respect. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, ACT, and DBT to help you work through trauma, manage emotions, and build a more meaningful life. But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—together, we’ll figure out what works best for you.
The first time we meet, it’s really about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’re hoping to work on, and any questions you have. We’ll start by identifying what matters most to you—whether that’s easing anxiety, improving relationships, managing triggers, or just feeling more like you again. I’ll help you set realistic, meaningful goals, and we’ll take things one step at a time. You’ll never be expected to do it all at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
My clients often tell me I am very empathetic, and they feel truly heard in our sessions. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of calm to our work together. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not an interrogation—and that it’s okay to be completely yourself in the process.
I specialize in working with adults who are dealing with trauma, addiction, and stress-related challenges. Many of my clients are veterans, first responders, or healthcare workers—people who take care of others but sometimes forget to take care of themselves. If you’re feeling burned out, stuck, or disconnected, you’re in the right place. We’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, connected, and in control again.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build a better relationship with your thoughts and emotions, instead of struggling against them.

ACT is very helpful for coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
