About My Clients

The clients I work with often come to therapy after a scary or overwhelming experience that left them feeling changed. They may feel more on edge, distracted, anxious, or depressed—or experience nightmares, intrusive memories, or a sense of disconnection from those around them. Many have a history of trauma, whether from childhood, relationships, work, or other life events. While their stories are all different, what they have in common is a desire to feel more grounded, safe, and whole again.

My Background and Approach

My passion for this work has grown steadily over the course of my career. I began working in the mental health field in 2009, initially supporting children and families. Over time, I was drawn to working with individuals of all ages, particularly those navigating the lasting impacts of trauma. I trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and later found my clinical home in EMDR. From the very beginning, EMDR felt like a powerful, intuitive tool—and I was eager to integrate it into my work. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing significant healing and growth in clients who have used EMDR to process trauma and distressing life experiences. My approach is collaborative and client-centered. I believe in building a therapeutic space that feels grounded, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I’d be honored to walk with you in your healing process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens in the context of safety, compassion, and connection. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I honor each client’s wisdom, pace, and lived experience. I also believe that trauma shows up in many forms—and that healing is possible, even when things feel stuck or overwhelming.
