About

At the core of my work is a deep commitment to showing up with a compassionate and grounded presence. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to support you in gaining insight around the impact of past experiences, developing tools to navigate present challenges, and moving towards your vision of a fulfilling future. I believe that healing happens within relationships, and I place a strong emphasis on building a collaborative therapeutic connection. My approach is centered on honoring your unique path—validating your experiences, affirming your strengths, and supporting you as you uncover and embody your most authentic self. I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, addiction, emotional dysregulation, and challenges related to self-worth and self-compassion. My approach combines a humanistic foundation with evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic techniques.
