About Me
In 9th grade, I had to read Dibs in Search of Self for literature class. It’s the story of a young boy everyone had essentially written off—until one extraordinary play therapist was able to really see and understand him, and it completely changed his life. That book stayed with me and showed me the power one person can have in helping another feel truly seen.
Throughout my internship and over ten years in the field, I’ve worked in early childcare centers, hospitals, clinics, group practices, and now in private practice. Across all of these settings, the theme has been the same: people want to be seen, heard, and understood. When they’re given that kind of space, change can be deep and impactful.
Approach
I’m not a “smile and nod” therapist, I show up as a real person, with compassion, gentle humor, and honest, thoughtful questions so you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Together, we slow things down and get curious about what your nervous system is trying to protect you from. I use approaches like Brainspotting and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work through trauma, understand what keeps you feeling stuck, and build clarity, confidence, and a healthier sense of self.

Services
Do you find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed and replaying the same thoughts in your head over and over again? You don't feel like yourself anymore. The excessive nervousness, fear, worry, procrastination and emotional distress is wearing you down and negatively impacting your life. You want to feel like yourself again, before anxiety set in. I can help you get there.
In our work, anxiety doesn’t get to be the main character, you do. As we create a safe, judgment-free space where you can say the hard things out loud and start to trust yourself again. Therapy with me is about processing what you’ve been through, quieting the inner critic, saying “no” without guilt, feeling more at home in your own skin, and moving toward a life that actually feels like yours.
