Founder & Psychotherapist (she/her)

My Approach
I believe that every person possesses an innate capacity for healing, even when life feels overwhelming. My practice is built on the belief that therapy is not just about "fixing" symptoms, but about rediscovering your authentic self. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can untangle the complexities of your life together, moving from a place of survival to a place of thriving.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive training in trauma-informed care, I utilize a multi-faceted approach tailored to your unique needs. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool for processing unresolved trauma. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you build practical coping skills while understanding the deeper roots of your emotional patterns.
Whether you are struggling with a specific past event, navigating a difficult life transition, or simply feeling "stuck," you do not have to do it alone. My goal is to walk beside you on this journey, providing the tools and perspective you need to build a life of balance, connection, and peace.
