About My Clients

Do you ever feel like your emotions take over? Leaving you overwhelmed, irritable, or shut down? Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, depression makes everything feel heavy, or past trauma shows up in ways you can’t always explain. Together, we’ll work to understand where these patterns come from and help you find healthier, more balanced ways to cope. Through EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I support adults in healing from trauma, regulating emotions, and finding the root cause of issues.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps clients heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression using EMDR, parts work, and attachment-based therapy. My approach is nervous system informed, gentle, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand the protective parts of yourself that have been working so hard to keep you safe. Together, we’ll create space for relief, self-compassion, and a deeper sense of connection within yourself and in your relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I became a Therapist to become a safe and supportive space for others that don't have the opportunity to express themselves without feeling unsafe, unsupported, and judged. I did not have this support in my younger years and I wanted to make sure that I would be this for others. We're hardwired for connection and life can be tough if you don't have safe interpersonal relationships to be your authentic self in. It's hard to have to bear the weight of this all on your own.
