I am a trauma-informed provider. In our time together you will be met with acceptance, empathy, compassion, and truth. I use techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches to collaboratively find what works best for YOU. I believe in my clients. You are the experts of your own lives. And you are the ones with the power to create change.

Life can be full of uncertainty and instability, causing fear, panic, and anxiety in many of us. My goal is to help you find pathways to relaxation and groundedness through practical, simple tools to calm your nervous system and ease stress. Whether you are dealing with the challenges of the current global crisis or personal struggles, I offer gentle and effective therapies such as EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness to help you tap into your innate ability to heal and restore balance.

Collaboratively and compassionately, we will explore patterns of thinking that may be creating emotional difficulties and develop healthy ways of thinking and being. I will help you identify your goals, express your feelings, and gain coping skills to address future challenges with resilience and adaptability. My mission is to empower you with insight and support to make peace with the past and move boldly towards a more centered and fulfilling future.

Virginia Satir once said, “There are five freedoms: The freedom to see and hear what is; The freedom to say what you feel and think; The freedom to feel what you actually feel; The freedom to ask for what you want; The freedom to take risks on your own behalf.” Therapy can be a safe and nonjudgmental space to process, change, understand, and heal.
