I believe therapy should be a place where people feel safe, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. As an EMDR-trained therapist and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use recovery, and life stressors. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, IFS framework, and solution-focused therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing and growth.

Integrity, professionalism, and authenticity are central to my work. I value creating a therapeutic environment that encourages curiosity, self-awareness, and lasting personal growth.
