Sometimes life presents challenges we don’t feel equipped to face alone. Perhaps you're at a crossroads in life and feeling stuck or unsure about where to turn next. Or maybe you're grieving the loss of an important relationship, navigating a divorce, struggling with challenges in parenting, or living under the heavy weight of depression, anxiety, or past trauma. No matter what issue you choose to bring to counseling, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for you to process your feelings, heal old wounds, make important life decisions, and grow in greater understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.

Happy you are here! I am a dedicated therapist specializing in trauma therapy for teens and adults up to age 65. With a passion for guiding individuals through their healing journeys, I utilize an eclectic approach, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Experiencing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My approach is direct and straightforward—I believe in addressing issues head-on rather than sugar-coating. I create a supportive environment where vulnerability and accountability are key components of the healing process.
