About My Clients

Our past experiences may shape us, but they don't have to define us. Sometimes painful memories, emotions, or even our own behavior can feel like a heavy weight we've been carrying for a long time. This weight can hold us back and make life feel overwhelming. It can lead to problems in relationships, unwanted thoughts/behaviors, or disconnection from ourselves and the things in life that matter most. It can feel impossible to free ourselves of this burden alone - that's where therapy can help.

My Background and Approach

I support adults who seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, I find my clients often come with painful past experiences that show up as addiction, anxiety, relationship issues, mood disorders. I offer a compassionate, light-hearted space where I welcome you to come as you are. I use a variety of approaches, including EMDR therapy and CBT, to explore what got you to this point. I believe that with a through a greater understanding of ourselves we can develop self-compassion, which facilitates healing. We'll then develop specific strategies to help you achieve your goals, feel more comfortable in your own skin, and feel free to enjoy life again.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that where there is life, there is hope. Hope that things can be better. I truly believe that recovery is possible for everyone - regardless of your past or current circumstances. I became a therapist because I have experienced my own struggles and have experienced the gifts that therapy and recovery have to offer. I am passionate about helping others find a sense of safety, self-compassion, freedom and joy. I would be honored to hear your story and help you reconnect with what you value most in life.
