Navigating life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming and intimidating. As your therapist, I’ll hold space for you to express your fears and vulnerabilities in a supportive space. Together, we can actively explore challenges you’re experiencing, and generate solutions based on your needs and strengths. I create a nurturing environment for clients through genuine compassion, patience, and open-mindedness. My style is kind and warm, infused with creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of humor. As a therapist and previous educator, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of varying abilities and identities.

I am trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is a rapid-eye-movement therapy for treatment of a wide variety of mental health concerns, including trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. I have a particular passion for addressing root issues through a trauma-informed lens, with interventions such as ART and EMDR.
Ultimately, I strive for clients to feel as though they are heard, that their presence matters, and that they can develop positive change in their lives. If you feel as though we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out.
