I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapist, Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, and Certified Complex Trauma-Informed Professional. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and work with individuals (ages 13+), couples, and families.

As a strengths-based, integrative therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. My goal is to help you define what health and wellness mean for you and to support you in embracing your true self with kindness and clarity. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to keep our work practical and relevant to your daily life. In addition to talk therapy, I use body-based methods to help clients build resilience and internal resources—especially in ways that talk therapy alone may not provide. I see therapy as both an art and a science and incorporate evidence-based practices where appropriate.

When working with couples and families, I integrate the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, unheard, or stuck in negative cycles, I help you repair and strengthen your relationships. You’ll leave with practical tools to improve communication, deepen connection, and foster healthier dynamics.
Whether you’re facing a crisis, seeking personal growth, or simply wanting more out of life, I’m here to support your healing and growth. I meet clients with humility, respect, and a deep appreciation for each person’s unique story.
