LCSW-A, CHC
Life can get heavy when your mind rarely gives you a break. You may spend your days overthinking, replaying conversations, trying to quiet intrusive thoughts, holding yourself together through grief or trauma, or wondering why you still don’t feel like yourself. After a while, even the things that used to feel simple can take more energy than they should.
Therapy can be a place to put some of that weight down.
With me, you don’t have to arrive polished or prepared. Some days we may untangle what’s happening in your thoughts. Other days we may talk about what your body is holding, what you’ve been avoiding, or what you need in order to feel more steady. I’ll bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to our work while helping you develop ways to manage what you’re experiencing beyond the therapy room.
I believe healing is personal, and it doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. My hope is that, over time, life begins to feel a little less heavy—and you begin to feel more connected to yourself again.

My Therapeutic Techniques and Specialties
With 13 years in the helping profession, I work with clients navigating anxiety, OCD and obsessive thoughts, trauma, depression, grief, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, along with holistic and parts-work approaches when appropriate. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s driving the thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that are disrupting your life and build practical tools to help you respond differently.
As a Certified Health Coach, I also consider the whole person, incorporating mindfulness, meditation, stress reduction, and other wellness practices based on your needs and goals. For clients who desire it, faith and spirituality can also be meaningfully incorporated into our work. The goal is not simply to feel better in the moment, but to help you create changes that support how you want to feel and live long after therapy ends.
