I am skilled at identifying the root cause of your blocks and in choosing the best approach for you. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, neurodivergence, and grief. I am certified in EMDR and am continuously learning to be able to offer you the most informed and responsive care.
At the heart of my work is showing up as a real person, not just a therapist. I believe meaningful change grows from authentic connection, so I bring honesty and presence into our time together. I also know how daunting it can be to search for the right therapist, which is why I offer a brief, no-pressure consultation—giving you space to see how it feels to connect and whether it’s a good fit.
