Healing is rarely a straight path, and my goal is to walk alongside you as you build the life you envision, one rooted in your own strengths, values, and hopes.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time in therapy, trying to understand why I felt so different and overwhelmed by my emotions. While navigating Substance Use, PTSD, and Anxiety, I worked with a therapist who truly saw me, and that experience changed my life, inspiring me to become a therapist myself. I know how lonely it can feel when emotions are intense and hard to name. Therapy helped me unpack everything in my head and learn how to meet myself with a new sense of understanding, and I believe it can do the same for others. My passion for this work comes from knowing just how important it is to have someone truly in your corner.
I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and relationship issues. I also enjoy working with individuals who are Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and those who are now reflecting on their childhood experiences through adult eyes. As clients make sense of their past experiences, I also incorporate grief work to help them process the more complex and ambiguous sides of loss.
I utilize EMDR, Trauma-Informed CBT, and ACT to help clients work through trauma and build coping skills that foster growth which feels authentic to each individuals needs.I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a space that is rooted in acceptance and compassion. Healing is rarely a straight path, and my goal is to walk alongside you as you build the life you envision, one rooted in your own strengths, values, and hopes.

While studying abroad, I visited Interlaken, Switzerland — the scenery was seriously straight out of a National Geographic! I even went skydiving over the Swiss Alps, it’s a memory I’ll never forget.
