About

Hello and welcome! I enjoy working with women, college students, survivors of trauma, folks on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and anyone facing stress around anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, boundary setting and relationship concerns. I specialize in working with ages 18-40. I value authenticity and transparency and believe the relationship in therapy is the key element to a powerful experience. We get more from therapy when we are open. Often, we are not getting our needs met out of fear or avoidance, and therapy is a great way to practice embodiment, taking space and being present as your authentic self.

I often use EMDR in treatment for trauma, anxiety and depression. We all hold messages from our past experiences that impact us. We can heal when we examine these messages through a curious and nonjudgmental lens. I enjoy bringing expressive arts, creativity and mindfulness into sessions to build coping skills and connect on a deeper level.

It is important to feel that you can be honest with your therapist. It can take time to feel comfortable in therapy. I hope to create a relationship with you based around authenticity and nonjudgement. You do not have to be alone in your struggles. Therapy can be scary, but it can also be relieving, empowering and a beautiful act of self-love.
