Let's Connect

What you can expect:

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other in a thoughtful, supportive and intentional way. I'll ask questions about what's bringing you to therapy. I'll invite you to share with me what you think I need to know in the first meeting. I think of the first few sessions as getting the chapter titles of your story, and not diving too deep until you feel like you are comfortable and ready.

It's important that I understand your needs and just as important that you have the space to determine if my training, style and approach to therapy is the right fit for you.

  • Therapy is a collaborative process. The foundation we build in the first session helps us move at a pace that feels safe, supportive and respectful of where you are. Healing doesn't just happen during our sessions. It continues in the small moments inbetween sessions.

HEALING AT YOUR PACE

I bring over two decades of clinical experience, along with personal insight shaped by my own growth work. My education and clinical training prepared me to treat anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, family of origin work, health / medical issues, sexual abuse, grief, life transitions, veterans, first responders / healthcare workers, coping skills and more with a strong evidenced based foundation.
Working together


The goal of therapy is to help you feel calmer and safer in your body and your life.

My clients range in age from college students to retired professionals. Treatment is intentionally paced. We work within your window of tolerance. Together, we focus on building safety, insights, and resilience in ways that support lasting healing, not just symptom relief. Effective therapy can help reduce the intensity, frequency, and duration of panic attacks and anxiety by developing tools to calm an overactive nervous system. These new tools help to heal the impact of trauma stored on the body and to rewire the brain in order to reconnect with a sense of trust in yourself and the world around you.
I work best with adults who are navigating anxiety, feeling stuck in patterns that are no longer effective, carrying the weight of past trauma and/or recent traumatic experiences, as well as life transitions.
Many of my clients are high functioning on the outside while privately struggling on the inside with tension, difficulties regulating emotions, or a harsh inner critic.
Whether you're beginning to explore your past or are further along in your healing journey, I work well with both men and women who are self-reflective and open to seeking insights and using practical tools.
You don't have to do it all at once and you don't have to do it alone. You have a voice and a choice in every aspect of your healing journey.

Recommendations

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions:

One of my greatest strengths is creating a grounded, nonjudgemental space where clients feel seen, safe and supported. I bring over 28 years of clinical experience and training that specializes in treating panic attacks, anxiety, trauma, and grief in a phase oriented, trauma-informed manner that honors each clients' unique journey.

  • My approach integrates evidenced based methods like EMDR, motivational interviewing, and parts work- tools that help clients move beyond coping and toward deeper healing and integration. Clients often tell me that they feel calmer, more connected to themselves, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges after working together.

We explore the "why" behind your symptoms while offering practical skills to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety and panic, and build trust in your own inner resilience. Whether you are facing complex trauma or more recent life stressors, I'm committed to working with you, and walking beside you with compassion, care, clinical skill and deep respect for your process.
