Biography

I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your full, authentic self—and I strive to do the same. My approach is warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental, with a little humor and playfulness woven in along the way. I want my clients to feel safe being exactly who they are, whether that means talking through big emotions, laughing together, or simply taking things one step at a time. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). As a trauma specialist, I use EMDR to help clients explore how past experiences and trauma may still be showing up in their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday lives. I also draw from CBT and DBT to help clients better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. I have experience working with clients of all ages and especially enjoy the creativity and playfulness that can come with working with children and teens. I believe that therapy should be tailored to the individual—not one-size-fits-all—and I meet each client where they are with curiosity, openness, and compassion. For parents, I believe you are an important part of your child’s therapeutic journey. When appropriate, I work collaboratively with parents and caregivers to help them understand what their child may be experiencing and how they can support progress outside of therapy. My goal is to create a space where both children and adults feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
