Introduction

No two people experience trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression the same way, and therapy isn't "one size fits all". Everyone has diverse experiences that impact their worldview and perception of self, and everyone's path to healing is unique. We might be a good fit if you're looking for a therapist who understands that and welcomes a collaborative approach to healing! My counseling style is client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-focused. I help adults facing a variety of issues including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I customize treatment, approaching care by "meeting you where you are" using EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and polyvagal-informed therapy. Finding the right therapist is a key piece of the healing puzzle. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming space where my clients can thrive. My door is open to individuals of all cultural backgrounds and gender identities. Thank you for considering me to accompany you on your healing journey, I look forward to meeting you!
