About My Clients

Functioning as a human can feel like a heavy experience in today's world. Add on the task of undergoing therapy where we may be breaking away from harmful cycles, rigid belief systems and old ways of coping - It can feel daunting. I help my clients navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, panic, grief, and difficult life transitions. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs while helping you regain autonomy and empowerment in your life.

My Background and Approach

In my practice, I prioritize building trusting and collaborative relationships. It is essential to effective healing. I work at a pace comfortable for my clients, allowing you to guide our work and to decide what issues to address. I don’t teach coping skills I don’t personally use, ensuring that everything shared is authentic and can work. I specialize in EMDR and parts work that identifies negative core beliefs you may have been carrying throughout your life. Together, we’ll explore and understand your inner wounds while developing new skills that empower you to face life’s challenges with confidence. My approach values validation of each person’s unique experience, and viewing challenges through a broader lens to help you uncover blind spots. It is my hope to guide you toward lasting transformation, helping you build resilience and a deeper connection to self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

What drew me to this field began with my own healing . I grew up in a high conflict and unpredictable home that required great effort on my end to process and grow. I understand the work required when revisiting our past in order to heal. It can be painful and parts of you may not want to somedays, but with the right therapist, it is so worth it in the end! I firmly believe that anyone can change at any point in their lives—growth doesn’t follow a strict timeline. We’re ready when we’re ready. I am a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and prioritize diversity and inclusion in my practice, ensuring that my clients feel seen, respected, and valued. Outside of therapy, I am a fantasy girl through and through – whether it’s through games, movies, books, or DND, escaping to a magical world is just what I need to decompress. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out – I’d be happy to connect and look forward to working together!
