In her words

Our experiences shape us — but they don’t have to define us.

I believe our experiences shape us, but they don’t have to define us. My work is grounded in understanding how trauma, life experiences, and the ways we have learned to cope can influence how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, complex trauma and C-PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and neurodivergence.

I view therapy as a collaborative process and believe you are the expert in your own story. You bring your experiences, strengths, values, and goals, while I bring my clinical experience and therapeutic tools. Trauma work does not have to mean immediately revisiting the most painful parts of your past. We can begin by building safety, understanding your coping patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing the tools you need to feel more grounded.

Together, we can explore what is getting in the way, recognize the strengths that have helped you get this far, and work at a pace that respects your needs and readiness. I want to walk alongside you as your cheerleader in this process.

My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, trauma-specialized, and individualized. I draw from approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, Internal Family Systems, and DBT-informed interventions, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs and goals. Whether we are processing difficult experiences, navigating addiction, developing healthier ways of coping, or working toward greater self-understanding, my goal is to create a space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.

“You are the expert in your own story.”

“Healing happens through genuine connection.”

Her approach

Healing happens through genuine connection.

I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate the impact of trauma and life’s many challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that you are the expert in your own story.

Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring and processing distressing thoughts, feelings, memories, and behaviors. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or ADHD, I offer a supportive, strength-based space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward clarity and balance.

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies — including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — tailoring these approaches to your unique needs and goals. Compassion, curiosity, and respect guide every step of our work together.

As a trained EMDR therapist, I offer this powerful, healing approach when we mutually decide it’s a good fit. EMDR can help your mind and body process distressing experiences and restore a greater sense of calm and stability.

My role is to walk alongside you on this journey — helping you build insight, resilience, and meaningful tools that support lasting change.
