My blend of trauma-informed and person-centered care is rooted in empathy and collaboration. I believe each person’s story holds meaning and that healing happens through understanding, trust, and compassion. Using evidence-based modalities, I work with you to identify what’s beneath the surface—helping you reconnect with your strengths. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Taking the first step toward healing isn’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am here for you.
