If you're looking to "talk to someone," let's talk. Life stressors, relationship stress, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or new challenges can be overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone. I offer a warm, accepting, and judgment-free environment where you can explore, grow, and find resolution. Therapy tends to be Choose Your Own Adventure rather than One Size Fits All. Our first few sessions will be all about getting to know you and your needs. We will work together to build a treatment plan and identify strategies that fit you.
I love helping people overcome obstacles and arrive at more meaningful lives. My area of focus is helping adults recover from complex trauma. I have 10+ years of experience as a therapist using EMDR, CBT, ACT, MI, and other models to treat depression, bipolar, anxiety, addictions, etc., in addition to trauma work.
I believe healing and growth happen when we feel safe and supported enough to do so. Those who identify as non-traditional, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, introverted, non-religious, etc. are welcome! I offer flexible scheduling and reduced rates.

I have been using EMDR to treat trauma and other issues since March 2019. I've offered virtual EMDR since March 2020. EMDR is great for helping you overcome emotional distress from past experiences and fears about the future.
