Reaching out to a therapist can feeling overwhelming. I'm glad you did! I'm here to hold space for you, to help you grow and expand with caring support, and to gently challenge you. Whether you're looking to heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, navigate a life transition, get unstuck from an unhelpful thinking pattern, or you want a nonjudgemental space, I am here for you. I will show up for you non-judgmentally and empathetically.
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor who specializes in trauma, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and couples counseling. I believe in tailoring therapeutic interventions to meet my client’s individualized needs. I draw from several therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, ERP, and Gottman Level 2 Training.
I believe in the power of counseling to address challenges and create a healthier, more fulfilled life. I am here to hold nonjudgmental space for you, to encourage you, and to gently challenge you. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, transparency, and empathy. My goal is that you grow and strengthen your confidence and wellbeing!
