About My Clients
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or carrying the impact of past trauma. Some notice that stress and emotional pain show up in their bodies through tension, anxiety, or health concerns. I work with adults and teens who want to better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma-focused therapy. My approach integrates evidence-based practices including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I often use EMDR to help clients process difficult experiences that may continue to impact emotional well-being, physical health, and relationship patterns. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Many emotional struggles make more sense when we explore the experiences that shaped them. Trauma and chronic stress can influence how we think about ourselves, how our bodies respond to stress, and how we relate to others. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can safely explore these experiences, gain insight, and develop healthier patterns for moving forward. I also have a growing interest in supporting first responders and individuals working in high-stress environments.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Personal Beliefs (max 1000 characters) I believe healing happens in relationships where people feel safe, respected, and truly understood. Therapy is not about judgment or “fixing” someone—it is about creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences at their own pace and reconnect with their strengths. Many people come to therapy believing something is wrong with them, when often their responses are understandable reactions to difficult experiences. My role is to help clients make sense of those experiences, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. I strive to create a warm, compassionate space where clients from all backgrounds feel welcome. Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and experience greater peace in their lives and relationships.
