My Approach to Therapy

I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 2+ years of experience supporting clients through identity exploration, emotional challenges, and life transitions. I work with individuals across diverse backgrounds, including those navigating gender and sexuality, neurodivergence, trauma, eating and body-image concerns, and relationship dynamics. I strive to understand each person as a unique individual with strengths, values, and resilience, and I create a space where your story is met with curiosity, empathy, and respect.

My Practice & Services

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia, where I trained in LGBTQ+ concerns, neurodiversity, eating issues, trauma, and identity development. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies, along with motivational interviewing and mindfulness. I have completed an EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) approved EMDR basic training through the EMDR Institute. I offer EMDR standard protocol and EMDR resourcing for both in-person and virtual clients while continuing to receive ongoing consultation to refine my EMDR skills and provide high-quality, evidence-based care.|I hope to support you through every part of your healing journey, whether your moments are joyful, painful, or confusing. Therapy with me offers a reflective, nonjudgmental space to understand your experiences. Together, we´ll explore your story, build emotional tools, and move toward a grounded, authentic life.
