About

Clients often come to me feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. My clinical focus includes trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, parenting stress, and relationship issues. With 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples, I bring a warm, direct, and down-to-earth style rooted in authentic connection. Using evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method—I help people heal, build insight, communicate more effectively, and feel more like themselves again. What sets me apart is how I blend humor and heart into the therapy room. When it fits, laughter becomes a powerful tool—breaking tension, building connection, and helping clients embrace their messy, beautiful, imperfect humanity. Creativity and authenticity are core to my work, because healing isn’t just about insight—it’s also about feeling alive again.
