You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.

The journey to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line for me—I arrived here after walking many different paths in my life. For me, being a therapist isn’t about being an expert who sits above you. It’s about someone you can feel warm with, open with, and safe around.

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you do not need to navigate them alone. Finding a therapist you resonate with is the first step in feeling supported, understood, and moving toward meaningful change. My practice includes working with individuals 18+, couples and families. I am experienced in the treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, relationship issues, life transitions, phobias, self-esteem, anger management, addictions, grief and loss.

I am a Person-Centered therapist who integrates a variety of evidence-based and experiential modalities to support each client’s unique needs. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic alliance.

For clients experiencing trauma, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process and resolve distressing experiences in a safe and structured way.

I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to support clients in building practical skills, increasing insight, and creating meaningful change.

As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), I specialize in working with anxiety-related concerns and may integrate Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping) as a complementary mind-body approach.

When working with couples, I draw from both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method to help partners strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict more effectively.
