My Approach to Therapy

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s chat. Sometimes emotions take over more than we expect. They show up in the middle of the day, make everything feel heavier, or keep us stuck in the same old patterns even when we’re trying our best. A lot of people come in feeling worn out from anxiety or tired of riding emotional ups and downs. It doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you; it just means you’ve been carrying a lot. In therapy, we slow things down and figure out what’s actually fueling all that overwhelm. We build tools that fit your life, and you deserve support that feels grounding and real. Whether we’re working with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), or simple grounding techniques, the approach is always tailored to you. Therapy is a collaborative journey designed to help you meet your needs, goals, and growth. My practice offers virtual therapy, as well as walk-and-talk therapy. If reaching out feels overwhelming, that’s completely okay. You deserve support that feels steady, genuine, and human. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward the peace and balance you’ve been longing for.

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

I specialize in emotion regulation, trauma-informed care, nervous system stabilization, boundary and communication skills, cognitive and behavioral pattern change, and supporting high-functioning adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress. My approach blends DBT, ACT, and EMDR for practical, evidence-based progress.
