I believe therapy works best when it creates space for honesty, curiosity, and meaningful change. Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help clients better understand what is happening beneath the surface, develop practical tools, and create change that feels grounded and sustainable.
I have experience working in trauma-focused care, community mental health, and substance use and mental health treatment across inpatient, residential, and outpatient levels of care. These settings have shaped my ability to support clients through trauma, crisis, recovery, emotional dysregulation, grief, shame, relationship issues, and major life transitions.
My approach is genuine, collaborative, and direct. I am an EMDR-trained therapist who also draws from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should offer practical tools for coping and change, while also creating space to understand the deeper beliefs, experiences, and patterns that shape your relationship with yourself and others.
Whether you are working through trauma, navigating recovery, improving your relationships, or feeling ready for something to change, I aim to provide a space where you can feel understood, challenged, and supported.
