Individual therapy for adults and young adults
EMDR Therapy
In person + online
When getting through the day takes more than people realize.
Maybe you replay conversations long after they end. You say yes before checking what you need. Or you have built a life you care about, yet find yourself feeling disconnected, stretched thin, or unsure why the same problems keep returning.
You do not need a perfectly clear explanation to begin therapy. We can start with what feels difficult now and make sense of it together.
Support for the life you are living now.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and clinical experience to our work. We can talk through what happened this week, notice a pattern that has followed you for years, and consider what might help you respond differently.
A thoughtful place to begin.
