Counselor
Champion of Healing and Advocate for Growth
Verified by Psychology Today

As a dedicated therapist, I serve individuals who have experienced trauma and are seeking a compassionate, client-centered approach to healing. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, or PTSD, and are looking for a safe space to process their emotions. Their goal is to find relief from their symptoms, rebuild their sense of self, and move towards a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I specialize in client-centered, trauma focused therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps clients process and heal from distressing memories and experiences. By focusing on your unique needs and goals, I provide a safe space work through trauma and experience healing.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. Please know that you’re not alone, and taking this step is a courageous one. You deserve to live a fulfilling life, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take this journey, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards healing and a brighter future.
