About me
I help adults who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel stuck, sad, or unfulfilled on the inside, offering a supportive space to work through anxiety, depression, and life transitions using IFS and EMDR.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am trained in IFS (Level 1) and certified in EMDR, with a focus on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of trauma. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a lawyer—a career that gave me insight into the pressures of high expectations and the hidden struggles that can come with appearing “put together” on the outside.
My approach is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of healing. I take time to truly get to know you—where you are, what you need, and what will best support your growth. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of trauma-informed care.
Together, we’ll work toward unlocking the best version of yourself, so you can feel more present, confident, and fulfilled. My hope is that in our work you will feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.
