Why Therapy?

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences—especially the ones that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck. Furthermore, it can help you recognize patterns in your relationships, manage anxiety or depression, heal from past trauma, and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.

The Process

Through the therapy process, you can gain clarity, build self-compassion, and make choices that align with your values. Whether you’re facing a specific struggle or simply seeking personal growth, therapy offers the connection and tools needed to support real, lasting change.

Finding the Right Fit

Finding the right therapist can feel intimidating—and that’s completely normal. If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, I encourage you to reach out and ask questions. I’m here to offer guidance, share information, and create a space that honors your individual needs. My goal is to help you feel empowered, more self-aware, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life with greater resilience and ease.

Therapy Offerings

Individual Therapy

A collaborative process between a therapist and a client to address personal challenges, emotional distress, or mental health issues. In this one-on-one setting, the client has the opportunity to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and patterns in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.

EMDR

EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess painful memories and reduce their emotional impact.

College Students & Life Transitions

The college years can be an exciting time of growth—but they can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. From academic pressure and identity exploration to relationship challenges and career decisions, many students find themselves navigating significant life changes for the first time.
