Do you ever feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you could be happier? I want to help you on that journey.

I work with adult individuals who are navigating trauma, mood disorders, and addiction, and my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where healing can truly begin. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and start building the tools and insight you need to move forward with confidence and peace.

​

As an EMDR-certified therapist, I use evidence-based techniques to help address the root causes of distress—not just the symptoms. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy; each person’s story is unique, and your path to healing should be, too. I tailor my approach to fit your needs, drawing from a variety of methods and always keeping your goals at the center of our work.

​

My style is client-centered and collaborative, with a strong focus on building trust and understanding. I often incorporate motivational interviewing and other integrative techniques to help you gain clarity, strengthen your coping skills, and rediscover a sense of hope. In our sessions, you can expect to feel supported, heard, and genuinely cared for as we work together toward lasting change.

 

You don’t have to face things alone—healing is possible, and I would be honored to help you take the next step.

MY APPROACHES

MY SPECIALTIES

"My therapeutic methodology is grounded in Humanistic Counseling and a Client-Centered Approach. These frameworks facilitate clients in achieving their utmost potential by fostering a secure environment where they can experience unconditional positive regard within a nonjudgmental context. Additionally, by incorporating Mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, we can explore the impact of our thoughts and behaviors on various outcomes."
