About ME
A GROUNDED, COMPASSIONATE, AND COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
I take a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapy. My work is rooted in helping clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they explore their emotions and experiences. I combine evidence-based methods with warmth and authenticity to create a space where healing feels possible and growth feels empowering.
FOCUSED ON CONNECTION AND EMOTIONAL HEALING
My focus is on helping clients reconnect with themselves, heal from the past, and build meaningful change in their lives. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we uncover patterns, strengthen coping skills, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and balance.
MY THERAPEUTIC STYLE
Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, genuine, and easy to talk to. I use curiosity, creativity, and even a bit of humor to make therapy feel more human. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify emotional patterns, manage symptoms, and move toward lasting change.
WHO I WORK WITH
I primarily work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. My clients are often navigating challenges like anxiety, trauma, stress, or self-doubt and are ready to create change that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST
I’ve always cared deeply about how people feel and what they go through. Over time, I realized how powerful it is just to have someone truly listen and be in your corner. I wanted to be that steady support for others, to help people feel understood, build trust in themselves, and find their way forward. For me, therapy isn’t about fixing people; it’s about walking with them as they discover their own strength.
