About Me

Outside of my time with clients, my life is filled with creativity and learning.

I love learning new things. I have two cats, and one of them can talk using communication buttons. His favorite words are "play", "pets", and "now".  I'm an avid aquarium enthusiast, and I find myself observing my little aquatic friends throughout the day. I love watching Lord of the Rings and other tv / movies that I find inspiring, and I enjoy hanging out with my spouse and my friends. I love food, especially international foods. I enjoy spending time in nature and have a lifelong love for animals. I enjoy writing fiction and nonfiction and playing video games.

The people closest to me describe me as thoughtful, understanding, genuine, and insightful.

Rates

$150 for 50 minute session

$200 for 90 minute session

My practice is a good fit if you're looking to:

• Explore the impact of your past on your present

• Understand yourself more deeply

• Build emotional awareness and relational insight

• Develop inner safety and self-trust

• Slow down and reflect rather than crisis-manage

• Work at a steady, grounding pace

I may not be the best fit for individuals currently experiencing:

• Active suicidal intent or recent attempts

• Frequent hospitalizations or crisis-level needs

• High-risk or dangerous impulsive behaviors such as reckless driving, unsafe sexual behaviors, ongoing self-harm, risky substance use, or other illegal or high-risk activities 

• Severe dissociation

• Active psychosis or mania

• A need for intensive or 24/7 crisis support

I specialize in trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, and EMDR, focusing on relational, developmental, and attachment-based trauma — the kinds of experiences that shape self-worth, identity, and your ability to feel grounded and connected in your life.

My work is depth-oriented and insight-driven, ideal for clients who are emotionally stable enough for reflective, relational trauma processing.

Because I provide non-crisis outpatient therapy, I may not be the best fit for individuals currently experiencing severe dissociation, psychosis, high-risk behaviors, or ongoing safety crises. Those situations often require a more intensive level of care than weekly outpatient therapy can provide.
