Hello & welcome to our little corner of the internet. It takes courage to reach out for help. Whether you are doing so for the first time or are returning, I commend you for taking this step. Trauma (single-episode; complex; perinatal; developmental), and anxiety & depression can significantly affect our mental, physical and emotional health, relationships and daily life. Hurts from long ago can continue to affect us in profound and sneaky ways, even if we thought we had dealt with them. You do not need to hurt forever. In therapy, we will work together to understand the problem, heal the hurts and get you living your best life.

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are—tailoring our work to fit your needs, because everyone’s journey is different.

I am trained in DBT, EMDR, and Gottman Couples Therapy.
I can empathize with the overwhelm that comes with finding a new therapist. Not only can it feel incredibly vulnerable, but it can be difficult to get a sense of who a therapist is through a brief online bio. Hopefully, I can accurately convey what therapy with me could be like. Overall, I strive to create a therapy environment grounded in curiosity, encouragement, transparency, and collaboration. I will take time to understand your unique challenges and hopes, offering honesty and compassion as we explore new ways forward for you.
