Living with anxiety can feel like a relentless rollercoaster of worry and unease. Simple tasks may be overwhelming, and everyday situations can begin to trigger intense apprehension. I use a variety of evidence-based methods, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness exercises to help with both generalized anxiety and specific triggers. In our work, we will focus on empowering you to navigate life with greater confidence and ease.

Whether it’s a singular incident or a more complex enduring struggle, trauma can manifest in our minds and bodies in various ways. I employ a variety of approaches, including talk therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques to create a plan tailored to your needs. I work with you to create a safe and supportive environment to help you build resiliency and to empower you with effective coping strategies.

If you find that substances are impacting your life more than you’d like to admit, you’re not alone. I work to provide a supportive space to explore your relationships with substances. Whether its occasional use becoming a cycle or affecting your daily focus, we will work together to tailor treatment to your needs and experience. My goal is to assist you in creating a balanced future that fulfills your individual values and goals.

I practice from an ACT framework and focus treatment on acceptance of difficult emotions and experiences while orienting toward values based behavior.

I am trained in and practice EMDR with a range of clients suffering from trauma and mood related disorders.

I practice multiple therapies to address trauma, including prolonged exposure, EMDR, and more.
