Together, we'll get curious about the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself and the world around you. We'll work toward understanding your emotions, making sense of your reactions, and finding new ways to navigate life's challenges with more compassion and confidence.

My hope is that clients experience me as approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to, with a little sarcasm and humor when the moment calls for it! I'll laugh with you, sit with you through the hard stuff, and gently challenge you when needed. I believe therapy works best when we can show up as real people, with room for all that comes with being human.

Our first session is all about getting to know you! We'll chat about your background, experiences, current challenges, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. I'll ask plenty of questions (I promise it's not an interrogation!), and you'll have space to ask your own. There's no pressure to have everything figured out before we meet!

I've been on the other side of the therapy room, and I know firsthand how impactful it can be to have someone who listens, supports, and challenges you along the way. I became a therapist to offer that same support to others, helping them navigate the confusing parts of life and reminding them they don't have to figure everything out alone.

I take a trauma-informed, individualized approach using EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, ACT, and somatic techniques. I'm passionate about helping clients identify their emotions, get curious about what those emotions might be communicating, and learn how to navigate them. Together, we'll explore how past experiences shape present-day patterns.
