As a therapist, I believe in acceptance, showing up authentically, and offering a non-judgmental, compassionate, empathetic approach with my clients. I believe that your life is your own story to write, and you get to decide what comes next. It is important that clients feel safe in my office, whether that be in person or virtual. I specialize in treating PTSD, codependency, eating disorders, grief, depression, and anxiety. I am a body positive clinician as well as an affirming therapist for the LGBTQIA+ community.
I primarily work with adults, and I am trained in inner child therapy, EMDR, shame resilience, art therapy and multiple other modalities I utilize in sessions to offer holistic care to each person. My role is to provide a safe space for you to know you are not alone, and that you are understood, accepted, and there is hope.
I know firsthand the powerful impact of having a safe person shows up with empathy, understanding, and nonjudgmental support in some of the most painful moments in life. I would love to get to know you more and walk alongside you towards healing.
