I believe meaningful therapy is grounded in deep empathy, authentic connection, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for growth and healing. Lasting change happens when we have a safe space to make sense of our experiences, process emotional pain, and discover new ways of relating to ourselves and others. I work to create a warm, collaborative space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported as they move through that process.

I take a relational and systemic approach, recognizing that our lives are deeply influenced by our relationships, families, experiences, and environments. I support individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, attachment patterns and relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and struggles with identity and self-worth. My approach is collaborative and individualized, with space to understand not only what you're experiencing, but the patterns and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself and move through the world. My clinical background spans inpatient and outpatient mental health, school-based mental health, and substance use treatment, along with diagnostic assessment, clinical leadership, and supervision—experience that has given me a deep appreciation for the complexity of each person's story.

My work is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based and psychodynamic therapies, somatic interventions, family systems approaches, and mindfulness. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I draw from these approaches in ways that reflect each client's unique needs, strengths, experiences, and goals. In addition to my EMDR training, I've completed advanced training in the AIR Network (Anchored Relational) Model, the Gottman Method, and Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—training that has deepened my work with trauma, attachment, and relationships and reinforced something I see again and again: the relationships we have with ourselves and others profoundly influence how we heal, grow, and experience our lives.
