I work with adults and teenagers ages 14 and older. Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work closely with teenagers in group homes and behavioral health settings, which gave me a strong foundation in supporting young people through some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. As my experience grew, I expanded my practice to include adults as well.

I am especially passionate about working with individuals navigating trauma and complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, grief, OCD, and self-esteem concerns. I recognize that these experiences can affect far more than just our thoughts—they can impact our relationships, sense of safety, confidence, and ability to feel fully present in our lives.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood rather than judged, and where we can work collaboratively to understand what you're experiencing, identify what is keeping you stuck, and develop a path toward meaningful and lasting change.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor treatment to each client's individual needs, goals, and experiences. I am especially passionate about EMDR and Brainspotting, which can help clients process difficult experiences and move toward greater emotional healing and integration.

I also incorporate parts work, somatic approaches, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and build emotional resilience. I believe healing involves more than simply changing our thoughts—it also involves developing a greater sense of safety and connection within ourselves.

Because I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change, I also draw from interpersonal and relational approaches. I value creating a collaborative, authentic relationship where clients feel safe enough to be vulnerable and explore the parts of themselves they may have struggled to understand.

For clients experiencing OCD, anxiety, and phobias, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My goal is to meet each client where they are and thoughtfully integrate the approaches that best support their healing and growth.

What Makes Me Different?

I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about what is wrong. It should be a space where you feel genuinely understood, where you can make sense of your experiences, and where we can work together toward meaningful change.

Having been on the other side of the therapy relationship myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to sit across from someone and share the parts of yourself you may not fully understand or feel comfortable showing others. I don't take that trust lightly. I place a great deal of value on the therapeutic relationship and believe that feeling safe, respected, and understood is an essential part of healing.

My approach also goes beyond simply changing thoughts or behaviors. I integrate relational, cognitive, somatic, mindfulness, and trauma-processing approaches to help address both the mind and the body. Depending on your needs, this may include EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work, ERP, ACT, or CBT. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we will work together to find what makes sense for you.

I also believe that you are not broken and do not need to become someone else to be worthy of healing. You can be exactly who you are today while still working toward growth, greater emotional resilience, and a life that feels more fulfilling.

Finally, I believe therapy should fit into your life—not make your life harder. I offer telehealth appointments, including evening and weekend availability, because I know that finding time for therapy can be difficult. There is something uniquely comforting about being able to do meaningful therapeutic work from the safety and comfort of your own home.

My goal is to meet you where you are, help you understand what is happening beneath the surface, and walk alongside you as you move toward feeling more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.

That's completely okay. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy, and you certainly don't need to know the “right” thing to say.

Sometimes you just know that something doesn't feel right. Maybe you're overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, stuck in the same patterns, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore. Sometimes you can't even put your experience into words yet—and that's okay, too.

Part of my role as your therapist is to help you slow down, get curious about what you're experiencing, and make sense of what may be happening beneath the surface. We can work together to identify patterns, understand where they may be coming from, and figure out what you need moving forward.

You don't have to walk into your first session with a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a perfectly organized story. You just have to show up. We'll figure out the rest together.

We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.What If I've Tried Therapy Before and It Didn't Work?

You wouldn't be the first person to come to therapy feeling disappointed by a previous experience. Sometimes therapy doesn't work because the approach wasn't the right fit, the therapeutic relationship didn't feel quite right, or you simply weren't ready for the kind of work you needed at that point in your life.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another, and sometimes it takes trying a few different approaches before you find what truly resonates with you.

Rather than starting with the assumption that you need to do therapy a certain way, I want to understand what you've tried before, what felt helpful, what didn't, and what you're hoping will be different this time. From there, we can develop an approach that feels collaborative and tailored to you.

And if something isn't feeling right in our work together, I want you to feel comfortable telling me. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important part of healing, and your feedback matters.

You don't have to convince yourself that therapy will work this time. We can simply start by getting curious about what you need.

My continued training has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and nervous-system regulation. I draw from these approaches to create individualized treatment rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.

I also believe that personal and professional growth go hand in hand. I am intentional about continuing my own growth as a therapist so that I can bring curiosity, humility, and presence into the therapeutic relationship.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening-based program developed by Unyte-iLs that uses specially filtered music as part of a structured, individualized listening experience. It is designed to support nervous-system regulation and greater flexibility in how we respond to stress and our environment.

SSP is not traditional talk therapy. Instead, it can be used as a complementary approach alongside therapy or as a standalone private-pay service, depending on your individual needs and goals.

I incorporate SSP with an emphasis on individualized pacing and nervous-system awareness. Because people can respond differently to the listening experience, we don't simply follow a rigid schedule. We pay attention to how you are feeling throughout the process and adjust the pace or approach when needed.

SSP may be particularly appealing to people who feel “stuck in survival mode,” experience difficulty settling their nervous system, or find that traditional talk-based approaches don't fully address what they are experiencing.

Before beginning SSP, we will meet for an initial assessment to discuss your goals, history, current needs, and whether SSP is an appropriate fit for you.

SSP is not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment when those services are needed.

Item descriptionWhat Is EMDR?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured, evidence-based approach that can help the brain process distressing or overwhelming experiences that may continue to affect you in the present.

Sometimes, experiences from the past can feel as though they are still happening—showing up as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactions, physical sensations, nightmares, avoidance, or feeling “stuck” in certain patterns. EMDR helps us gently revisit these experiences while using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating taps, to support the processing of the experience.

EMDR is not about forcing yourself to relive everything that has happened to you. We work at a pace that feels manageable and prioritize safety, stabilization, and nervous-system regulation throughout the process.

EMDR can be helpful for trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, grief, distressing memories, negative beliefs and feelings about self, and other experiences that continue to have a strong emotional or physiological impact.

You do not have to tell me every detail of your past in order for EMDR to be helpful. We will work together to determine whether EMDR is a good fit for you and what approach feels safest and most appropriate.

Brainspotting is a body-focused therapy developed by Dr. David Grand that uses specific points in your visual field to help access and process experiences that may feel difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy.

The basic idea is that “where you look affects how you feel.” During Brainspotting, we work together to identify a particular point in your visual field that seems connected to an emotion, memory, body sensation, or internal experience. You then have space to notice what happens internally while remaining grounded and supported.

Brainspotting can be especially useful when you know something is affecting you but have difficulty putting it into words. It allows us to work not only with thoughts and emotions, but also with the physical and nervous-system responses that can accompany difficult experiences.

As with any trauma-processing approach, we move at your pace. You remain in control of what you share, and we focus on creating enough safety and stability for the work to feel manageable.

Brainspotting can be used with trauma, anxiety, emotional distress, performance concerns, and other experiences where you feel “stuck” or disconnected from your usual sense of yourself.
