About My Clients

My clinical focus is trauma. Most of my clients are working through something that happened to them, or a long pattern of things, and looking for a way to stop carrying it the way they're carrying it. Some come in knowing they have trauma, but other's don't. Most came in for anxiety, a hard postpartum, a marriage that wasn't going anywhere, an unshakeable feeling of not being okay, and we found the trauma underneath it together.EMDR is my primary modality, but it's not the whole of my practice

My Background and Approach

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and my Master's degree in Social Work with a mental health concentration. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I see each person as the expert of their own experience, and I value your ability to help me understand you without assumptions or labels.At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should feel real, safe, and human. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood as you are.While we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals, I also believe therapy is more than a process—it is a relationship built on trust and genuine connection. In our sessions, you can expect warmth, respect, and space for your full experience. Whether you are sharing something painful, sitting in silence, asking difficult questions, crying, or even laughing, you are welcome here. Healing can be challenging, but therapy does not have to feel clinical or distant.
