About me
I am a compassionate therapist specializing in trauma and couples therapy, offering personalized care for meaningful, lasting change.
With over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I offer a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel understood and empowered. I believe therapy is not about being “fixed”—it is about having a safe place to make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change.
I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, autoimmune disorders, and the unique experiences of neurodivergent clients. My specialties include couples counseling and EMDR, an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional intensity associated with trauma and distressing experiences.
I understand that every person and relationship is different. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals. Whether you are feeling stuck in recurring relationship patterns, coping with the impact of an autoimmune condition, processing past experiences, or seeking greater self-understanding as a neurodivergent person, we will work together at a pace that feels respectful and manageable.
