My Approach to Therapy

Life can feel overwhelming when unresolved trauma, persistent anxiety, grief, or creative stagnation begin to shape the way you experience yourself and the world. You may find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional patterns that leave you feeling stuck. Whether you're a high achiever striving for more or a young adult navigating the transition into independence. Relationship struggles, painful breakups, chronic people-pleasing, or deep-rooted insecurities can make it difficult to move forward with confidence. Transform trauma, anxiety, grief, and self-defeating patterns into clarity, resilience, and growth. Together, we'll uncover the underlying causes of your struggles, foster meaningful healing, and help you build a life defined by greater authenticity, purpose, and emotional freedom.

My Practice & Services

My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including: EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, to help you gain deeper insight, heal the roots of emotional distress, and create lasting change. Therapy is a place for meaningful transformation, but healing doesn't have to be heavy all the time. I believe warmth, authenticity, and humor are just as important as clinical expertise in fostering a safe and productive therapeutic relationship. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd be honored to support you. You can submit a request through GoodTherapy or visit my website to learn more about my approach and schedule a consultation. Lasting change begins with a single step, and you don't have to take it alone.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

You are certainly not alone! There are so many therapists and approaches that sometimes it is hard to find a good fit. Or perhaps you worked with a therapist who did not practice ethically or kept you in treatment longer than necessary. Or maybe you loved your previous therapist but didn't achieve full symptom relief. Restarting therapy after a negative experience is brave. I have helped many people who have come to me after a previously negative or ineffective therapy experience. I am transparent and will clearly communicate my approach and specific ways I can help you. If I cannot help you, I will tell you and point you in the right direction.
