I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in individual, group, and couples counseling. I have extensive training and experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and interpersonal relationship issues.

I have received training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which utilizes mindfulness and acceptance to improve the quality of a person’s life.  I have also been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, which is an evidence-based practice that focuses on processing traumatic and distressing experiences and emotions to help alleviate associated psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance. I am also trained in Gottman Couples Therapy, which is a type of therapy for couples that focuses on increasing intimacy, affection, and respect in a relationship, while improving communication and conflict management skills. My therapeutic orientation utilizes an integrative approach, which relies most heavily on person-centered, psychodynamic, ACT, and EMDR therapy.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and connection. I believe in walking alongside you as you uncover your own personal truth, while offering practical tools and insights to help you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by emotions, navigating difficult relationships, facing a stressful personal or work environment, or simply wanting to grow into your best self, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and work toward building a life that feels more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling.
