My clinical specialty is working with women who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, feel like their life is at a cross roads, and are tired of spiraling. I aim to be the type of therapist I needed at points in life: present, real, patient, and a pinch of humor. My style in therapy is mainly collaborative, I enjoy meeting you where you are at and walking along side you. It's more empowering to support you finding the answers than just telling you what to do. You'll find my vibe is down to earth, nonjudgmental, warm, and encouraging. If you're interested in seeing whether we'd be a good fit, schedule a free consultation or reach out!

Treatment Approach
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
Approach Description: I offer both EMDR and IFS therapy, and I'm drawn to these approaches for a number of reasons. First, I've seen and felt firsthand how effective they can be. Being able to connect to physical emotional distress while reprocessing a memory is incredibly powerful, and clients are often surprised at how transformative it can be. Second, while talking through problems is helpful, it can also feel like there is a missing piece to healing. That's where somatic work can be useful, and both EMDR and IFS provide a pathway to deeper processing.
In terms of my style, I believe that trust is built on authenticity and follow through. I bring my genuine self into the therapy room, meaning you will see my natural reactions (sometimes giggling is important in therapy!) and undivided attention.
