Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, going through a big life change, or just feeling stuck, we’ll figure things out together at your pace.

I've had the privilege of working with kids, teens, and adults, and I understand that each stage of life comes with its own ups, downs, and curveballs. No matter where you are on your journey, we’ll start there—no pressure, no pretense. Just real talk and real support.
I am trained in some of the latest therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but rather in meeting patients where they are. Together, we can work to fine-tune beliefs, regulate intense emotions, demonstrate compassion and self-regard, and quiet the inner critical voice often rooted in trauma.
