About

We all have our own stories that are filled with our experiences, strengths, and challenges, and we move at our own pace and time. We have many layers that, while exciting to uncover, can also trigger fear and worry. Self-discovery can be an empowering journey, one of understanding and acceptance, self-love, and fulfillment. You are the expert of your own life, and I am here to offer support, care, guidance, and courage along the way. I believe in collaboration, and will work with you to address the issues presented in therapy and develop treatment goals. Together we will make the space to create the life you want.

I have extensive experience working with those managing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, along with relationship and attachment issues, intimacy related issues, coping with life changes, mood instability, negative self-talk and self-esteem, personal growth, and addressing irrational beliefs. I provide therapy using talk therapy and EMDR.

I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, safe, and respectful, while working together to create goals that support your areas of need. I will support you to embrace all aspects of yourself, regain control of your life, and celebrate the steps made towards healing. It takes courage to seek therapy, and I am so glad that you are here.
