About

As a licensed mental health therapist, I specialize in helping teenage girls, young women, and mothers navigate life’s challenges and heal from past trauma. My passion lies in creating a compassionate, supportive space where my clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to reclaim their stories. Many of the women and girls I work with carry emotional wounds that stem from early life experiences—whether it’s unresolved childhood trauma, anxiety, feelings of unworthiness, or the pressure to “hold it all together.” These struggles can be overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone. Through a trauma-informed approach and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I help my clients process painful memories, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their inner strength. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based tool that allows the brain to reprocess traumatic experiences in a safe, structured way so healing can truly begin.
