If you are wanting to make a change and wondering where to begin, it may be time to reach out for help. As your therapist, I will work alongside you and take a collaborative approach to identify the steps necessary to achieve your desired outcomes. My goal is to create a compassionate, authentic, and comfortable environment for individuals to explore their current circumstances and build the life they want to live.

I provide telehealth services to adults coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, or general life stressors and transitions. I am passionate about empowering individuals and fostering a therapeutic relationship that promotes growth and healing. I utilize two specific trauma modalities: EMDR and Lifespan Integration.

You do not have to struggle alone. I would be honored to serve as a resource in your journey to better cope with life stressors and to grow and heal as a person.
