My Approach to Therapy

My approach to helping is grounded, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based practices with a focus on creating safety, understanding, and connection in the therapeutic process. I pay close attention to both emotional and physiological experiences, especially in the context of trauma, anxiety therapy, and depression. Together, we work to identify patterns, increase insight, and develop practical and internal tools that support lasting change and a greater sense of stability and well-being.

My Practice & Services

My practice is rooted in providing thoughtful, evidence-based therapy for teens (16+) and adults experiencing posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), grief and loss, and life transitions. I strive to create a steady, supportive space where clients can better understand their experiences and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels safe and manageable. In addition to weekly therapy, I offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) intensives for clients who are seeking a more focused, accelerated approach to trauma processing. These extended sessions can provide an opportunity to make deeper progress in a condensed timeframe, while still maintaining a grounded and supportive therapeutic framework.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I'm skilled at helping clients navigate PTSD, C-PTSD (Complex PTSD), and developmental trauma, with a focus on creating safety and supporting meaningful healing. EMDR is an excellent tool that I use regularly to help clients throughout this process. I also regularly work with OCD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as general stress and burnout. Across these concerns, I help clients understand underlying patterns, reduce emotional distress, and build tools for regulation, resilience, and improved quality of life in both daily functioning and relationships.
