About Me

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. ​

​

If you're thinking about working together, my style is warm, direct, and kind. I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the cornerstone of the healing process -- when trust is present, true openness and healing can begin.

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed lens, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, and EMDR to support healing at a pace that feels safe. Our work is collaborative and tailored to your goals, needs, and capacity, honoring your individual process.

​

I have experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, families, and first responders. My clinical work includes supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and child loss, trauma and PTSD, sexual assault recovery, stress, and anger management. I am EMDR-Certified and experienced working with individuals affected by trauma.

​

I am, also, certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and have specialized experience supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum challenges, and reproductive loss. Since 2021, I have had the privilege of facilitating support groups with Forever Footprints, a nonprofit organization that supports families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. I am also honored to work with The Counseling Team International, providing care to first responders and their families.

​

In my free time, I enjoy yoga, tennis, hiking with my two dogs, and traveling. 

 

​​​​​​I look forward to working with you on your path to healing.​
