Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. I’m a trauma-informed mental health clinician who works with teens and adults (ages 13 and up), and I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally take a breath. My style is open-minded, non-judgmental, humorous, and easygoing. You don’t have to have the “right” words or know exactly what you need—showing up as you are is enough. I’ll listen carefully, meet you where you are, and when it’s helpful, gently challenge you in ways that support real growth and change.
I take a person-centered approach and tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other treatment modalities. I work with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and substance use, and I have experience supporting justice-involved individuals through treatment courts and corrections. I also work closely with teens and adults navigating complex life challenges, transitions, and stressors.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you as we make sense of what you’ve been through and work toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
