Certified Prolonged Exposure Therapist
Trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Therapy offers a much-needed pause in the hustle of daily life—a space to reflect, learn, grow, and heal. I know how hard it can be to take that first step, and I’m here to make the process as comfortable and approachable as possible. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful tools for change. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can show up as your authentic self and explore the challenges that bring you to therapy.
I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and trauma. In our work together, I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, warmth, and a direct and grounded approach. I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from person-centered and strengths-based perspectives while incorporating evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and expressive modalities like Art Therapy.
My goal is to meet you where you are, supporting you in building emotional awareness, identifying patterns that no longer serve you, and creating meaningful, lasting change. While this journey can sometimes feel messy or uncomfortable, I’ll walk alongside you as we explore the deeper parts of yourself and your story.
Outside of sessions, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, as well as my extended family and friends. I love getting lost in a good book, experimenting in the kitchen with cooking or baking, and discovering new restaurants.
I look forward to joining you on your path to healing and growth!
