Nice to meet you
Stepping into 2026 feeling drained, stuck, or on edge? You don’t have to drag last year’s patterns into this one. With Eclectic EMDR therapy, I help people move through substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and relationship patterns, while building insight and real-world skills for lasting change.
Together, we’ll dig deep, uncover what’s underneath, and create shifts that let you make choices from a place of clarity, groundedness, and joy. This year is a chance to design a life that feels powerfully authentic, not just “fine enough.”

Interests
Outside of my clinical work, I find balance and joy through movement, creativity, and connection. I love practicing Pilates and dancing to stay grounded and energized. I’m also a devoted dog person and enjoy exploring new places, whether traveling abroad or discovering hidden gems locally. In my downtime, I unwind with great sitcoms and movies, appreciating storytelling that blends humor, humanity, and heart.
