What I offer
Therapy services tailored to you
Whether you're navigating everyday stress, working through trauma, or seeking support for anxiety and depression, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe and welcoming space.
A space that's entirely yours
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a confidential, one-on-one environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Together we'll identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
My approach
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and person-centered therapy — tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.
What to expect
- A warm, non-judgmental space to talk openly
- Collaborative goal-setting at your own pace
- Practical strategies you can use between sessions
- Ongoing support as your needs evolve
Finding your way back to yourself
Anxiety & Depression Treatment
Anxiety and depression can make even ordinary days feel overwhelming. I help clients understand the roots of their distress, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and rebuild a sense of calm, purpose, and connection.
My approach
Treatment is grounded in CBT and Acceptance and Mindfulness-Based Counseling, with attention to the whole person — body, mind, and relationships. We work at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful to you.
What to expect
- Psychoeducation about anxiety and depression
- Tools to interrupt worry cycles and low mood
- Behavioral activation and values-based action
- Compassionate support through difficult emotions
Healing is possible
Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves and the world. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I provide specialized, trauma-informed care that honors your experience and supports genuine healing — not just symptom management. I am also Part II Trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
My approach
I use evidence-based trauma therapies including Trauma-Focused CBT and somatic-informed approaches. Sessions are paced carefully, always prioritizing your safety and sense of control throughout the process.
What to expect
- Trauma-informed care from a certified specialist
- Safety and stabilization before processing
- Gradual, paced work at your comfort level
- Rebuilding trust, safety, and self-compassion

Fees & payment
I accept most major insurance plans. For clients without insurance, I offer an anti-oppressive pay scale — a community-care model where you self-select the tier that honestly reflects your financial situation.
Insurance accepted
I accept most major commercial insurance plans. Please reach out before scheduling to confirm your specific plan is accepted. A credit card is required on file for co-pays, co-insurance, and administrative fees. If I am not in-network with your plan, I can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Anti-oppressive pay scale
For clients without insurance coverage, this is not a sliding scale based on negotiation. It is a self-directed, community-care model grounded in economic justice. You choose the tier that honestly reflects your financial reality. Each tier has limited spots — when a lower tier fills, I open a new one.
Reserved for individuals with low income, high debt, or systemic financial barriers — such as those at or under 130% of the federal poverty line or local area median income.
For individuals with limited disposable income, gig work, or part-time employment.
For middle-income earners with stable employment and basic financial safety nets.
For comfortable income earners with some disposable income and savings.
For individuals with homeownership, significant savings, high salaries, or generational wealth who are able to pay full market rate.
Spots at each tier are limited. If your preferred tier is full, I will let you know and we can discuss options. I can also provide a superbill to submit to your insurance if I am out of network. All major credit cards are accepted. A card on file is required.
