In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask you about your reasons for seeking therapy, your background, and your goals. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, meaning we’ll work together to tailor a treatment plan that fits your unique needs.

I specialize in working with life changes, trauma, complex PTSD, substance use, and women’s health. I also work with children ages 4 and up, as well as families and couples.

Yes! I work with children ages 4 and up. My approach with children involves creating a warm, safe environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I use age-appropriate methods tailored to their developmental needs.

Therapy can benefit anyone facing personal challenges—whether it's life transitions, trauma, mental health struggles, or relationship difficulties. If you're looking for support and a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, therapy might be right for you. Don't be discouraged by past negative experiences; there's a therapist for everyone. My goal is to ensure you get the best care, even if that means helping you find other resources.

I draw on several therapeutic approaches, including person-centered, solution focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy). I prioritize empathy, kindness, and creating a safe space where you feel heard and supported.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people process and heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR can benefit you by helping to relieve symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and other trauma-related issues, allowing you to move forward with greater emotional balance and resilience.

The risks of EMDR are generally low, but some people may experience heightened emotions or distress during the therapy as they process difficult memories. This can lead to temporary feelings of anxiety, sadness, or vivid dreams. However, these reactions are typically short-lived, and a trained therapist will help guide you through the process safely. It's important to discuss any concerns with your therapist before starting EMDR to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
