I work with adults experiencing depression, including persistent low mood, loss of motivation, isolation, self-criticism, and difficulty finding meaning or connection. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, drawing from CBT, narrative therapy, and other evidence-based treatment options to help clients understand patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety. This can look like excessive worry, overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling constantly on edge. I use a trauma-informed, relational approach alongside CBT and other evidence-based strategies to help clients understand what is driving their anxiety and develop greater confidence, flexibility, and emotional regulation.

I have specialized training in trauma-focused treatment, including EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and work with adults experiencing PTSD and the effects of traumatic experiences, including dissociation. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed environment where clients can build safety and stability while processing difficult experiences, challenging trauma-related beliefs, and developing a stronger sense of self and agency.

I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to distress, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop practical strategies for coping and creating meaningful change.

I have completed specialized EMDR training and use this as part of my trauma-focused work. EMDR can help clients process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional impact of memories that continue to affect their present lives. I approach EMDR collaboratively and prioritize safety, stabilization, and client readiness throughout the process.

I use Narrative Therapy to help clients explore the stories they have developed about themselves, their relationships, and their experiences. Together, we examine how these stories may have been shaped by trauma, relationships, culture, and life circumstances while identifying strengths and alternative perspectives. My goal is to help clients separate themselves from their problems and develop a greater sense of agency over their own stories.
