- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, and the lasting effects of trauma. I also find deep purpose in supporting couples and families through major life transitions, as well as helping new mothers manage postpartum mood disorders. My approach to therapy is creative and personalized. We work together to clarify your goals and build actionable steps toward meaningful change. I stay actively engaged throughout the process to ensure each session feels purposeful and aligned with your needs.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I’m dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive space where all individuals feel seen and respected. I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and I’m committed to honoring each person’s unique story. I believe that meaningful healing begins with authentic connection, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and mutual collaboration.
