Most people who reach out for therapy aren’t dealing with just one thing.
They’re carrying layers -- and at some point, it starts to feel like too much.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, addiction, chronic illness, disability, grief, and major life transitions—often all at once. These experiences don’t just affect one part of your life; they shape how you think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world. My role is to help you make sense of those patterns and create a way forward that actually works in your real life.
My approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies, while also focusing on nervous system regulation. This means we don’t just talk about what’s happening, we work on how your mind and body are responding, and how to shift those patterns in a practical, sustainable way.
A meaningful part of my work is disability-affirming care. My background in rehabilitation counseling allows me to support individuals navigating chronic illness, injury, and long-term health conditions—not just emotionally, but functionally. In addition, I bring lived experience into this work. I have personally navigated trauma, multiple surgeries, and years of rehabilitation. I understand what it means to have your life disrupted and to rebuild more than once. That perspective shapes how I show up—grounded, direct, and deeply respectful of what each person is carrying.
In our work together, we focus on clarity, skill-building, and forward movement. We identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical tools you can use in your daily life. Therapy is not just about insight – it’s about creating change that you can feel and sustain.
Clients often tell me they feel both supported and challenged in our work together. That balance is intentional. You deserve a space where you feel understood, but also one that helps you grow.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We can start where you are and build from there.
