About Me

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help you better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

I most enjoy working with adults who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My practice is especially welcoming to LGBTQ+ individuals, creatives, writers, artists, and professionals navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or creative blocks.

I especially enjoy helping clients who feel stuck, whether because of anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.

My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe healing happens through a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, understood, and accepted exactly as they are.
