What Clients Can Expect

I take a deeply person-centered and trauma-informed approach, guiding clients with curiosity, care, and a strong belief in their capacity to heal. I strive to create a space that feels both safe and expansive—where nothing is too big, too dark, or too complicated to explore. My work blends reflective presence with practical tools, and I tailor each session to meet the needs of the moment.

Strengths as a Therapist

I’m known for being warm, intuitive, and deeply attuned. I feel most confident supporting clients through trauma, dissociation, and identity exploration. I work especially well with teens and young adults, and I’m skilled at helping clients untangle complex relational dynamics, self-harm, and suicidal ideation with compassion and clarity.

Ideal Client

My ideal client is a teen or young adult navigating trauma, identity, or dissociation, who’s ready for honest, meaningful work in a space where they feel safe and seen.

• Person-Centered Therapy

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Parts Work (Internal Family Systems influence)

• Creative and Expressive Arts Techniques
