If your emotions feel intense, relationships feel chaotic, or your mind won’t slow down, you’re not broken; you’re overwhelmed. I specialize in working with clients navigating difficulties like trauma, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety and depression. I use EMDR and IFS-informed EMDR to foster deep healing for trauma. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, tailoring my approach to each client’s individual needs.
Before private practice, I worked in inpatient psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment centers, supporting clients through complex mental health challenges. This background allows me to be comfortable with most issues that present in the outpatient setting and providing treatment that prevents the need for higher levels of care such as these.
I’m direct, compassionate, and steady. We can build real-life skills for emotional regulation and stability while gently addressing the trauma and patterns beneath it all. You deserve a therapist who can handle the hard stuff and still sit beside you with warmth.
