Introduction

Do you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, weighed down by depression, or held back by past experiences? I help people find relief from overwhelming emotions and regain balance and confidence. EMDR is a cornerstone of my work, helping clients heal from trauma, phobias, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs. I also draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness to provide practical, day-to-day tools. Clients describe me as warm, direct, and down-to-earth—with a sense of humor and a strong memory for the details that matter. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma, but I also support clients navigating stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative: I’ll meet you where you are while also gently challenging the patterns that keep you stuck. Therapy with me is active, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. You’ll find a space where your experiences are remembered, your progress is celebrated, and your goals are taken seriously—without losing sight of humor and humanity along the way. If you’re ready to move forward, I’d love to help you create lasting change.
