MA, LMFT
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and those within the LGBTQIA+ community. I am trained in EMDR.
I have a particular passion for supporting clients with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and complex PTSD. I work with individuals who have a history of experiencing neglect, worthlessness, have experienced feelings of unworthiness and feelings of not being “enough” or feeling “flawed.”
My goal is to provide effective, evidence-based treatment while helping clients explore how childhood experiences have shaped their sense of self, relationships, and responses to life's challenges.
I work collaboratively with clients to cultivate self-compassion, strengthen emotion regulation skills, and develop practical tools for managing stress and improving overall well-being. I also enjoy helping individuals explore questions of purpose, meaning, identity, and personal growth.
In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples who want to improve communication, deepen understanding, and foster greater empathy within their relationships. My approach is person-centered and humanistic, grounded in the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. Together, we identify goals and create meaningful pathways toward greater fulfillment and life satisfaction.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client's unique needs. In addition to EMDR, I draw from mindfulness-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential therapy, attachment-based perspectives, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Treatment goals are individualized and may include increasing self-awareness, building self-esteem, developing resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating lasting change.
Clients often describe my style as warm, authentic, and compassionate. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals feel understood, challenged when appropriate, and empowered to move toward the life they want to live.
