About Me

My Background

I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2014 and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I tend to work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship stress, especially those who appear to be handling things well on the outside but feel overwhelmed underneath.

I was drawn to this work in part because of my own experience in therapy and how meaningful it was to feel genuinely understood. That experience, along with my own lived experiences, shaped how I practice. I care deeply about real connection and creating space for honest conversations, and that continues to guide how I show up with clients. My hope is that you feel safe, understood, and supported here.

In sessions, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ERP, and EMDR, tailoring them to your goals and readiness. I believe therapy should be practical and grounded, while also making room to understand the deeper patterns that keep showing up in your life.

Outside of my work, I value many of the same things I encourage for my clients: movement, connection, and creativity. I enjoy spending time with my dog, exercising, meditating, cooking, reading, and sharing music and films with people I care about.
