Together, we will explore the experiences, relationships, and expectations shaping your life, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build tools that work for you. We'll make space for the different parts of your story while helping you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward meaningful change.

My clients describe me as genuine, relatable, and easy to connect with. I bring my personality into the room and believe therapy doesn't always have to feel serious or formal. There's space for laughter, honest conversations, and being human, even when we're talking about the hard stuff.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, your background, and what you're hoping to work toward. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, but there's no pressure to share everything right away. We'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Growing up in a first-generation family, I saw how much stigma could surround mental health and asking for help. I wanted to create a space where seeking support felt less intimidating, where you could bring the different layers of your experiences and feel understood rather than judged.

At The Safe State, I offer trauma-focused therapy that goes beyond talk therapy through EMDR, ART, and body-based approaches. While I have a particular interest in supporting military and first responder communities, perinatal clients, and athletes, my practice welcomes adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, relationships, and life's challenges.
