About

You want to live a life that you love, a life that you fully enjoy. You don't want to have your experiences of the past haunt you today, and you don't want to be consumed with worrying about the future. What’s standing in your way? Whether it’s an emotion or habit you can’t shake, an experience from the past, or anything else — let’s figure this out together. Working together with compassion, open-mindedness, and a bit of humor, my aim is to support you along this journey and help you thrive in the here-and-now while we build a foundation for a peaceful, fulfilling future. We achieve this by building on your strengths, gaining insight and useful coping skills, using science-backed therapies the whole way. I know from both personal and professional experience that reaching out for help can be difficult, so if you made it here - way to go! Feel free to schedule your free 15 minute consultation via online portal, email, or phone. I would love to get to know you! Specialties: I practice in the balance between exploring feelings and coming up with solutions to provide relief. Typically, we begin by working on coping skills and solutions for high-priority stressors. Once you are starting to feel some relief, we can explore deeper to create lasting change. You can expect non-judgmental empathy and personalized and collaborative strategies on your path to healing.

"I offer a personalized therapeutic journey tailored just for you, blending evidence-based practices with a warm and compassionate approach. Whether through traditional talk sessions focused on exploring/resolving stressors or transformative trauma work with interventions like Flash or EMDR (or all of it!), we'll work together to bring peace, healing, and lasting positive change into your life."
