As a experienced therapist, my primary goal is always, to help clients achieve theirs. Whether managing anxiety, processing trauma, or seeking tools to navigate stress and life challenges, therapy can be a space for restoration and meaningful change. Seeing real change, no matter how large or small is important. With a solutions focus, and a plan in mind, I believe we can reach solutions together.

I work with individuals who are navigating complex trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy provides a space to slow down, process what you've experienced, and develop healthier ways to cope and move forward.

The journey to the other side, starts today. Come on, I'll walk with you. I specialize in helping clients understand how trauma and stress impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building practical skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard & respected.

Just finished my first appointment and the therapist I was matched with was one of the finest people I have ever dealt with. Very respectful and professional, I highly recommend this team.

I was unsure what to expect because I've never heard of Ascend before but was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Great communicators! Trauma informed and the accessibility and ease of the user interface was the cherry on top for me.

I truly go through my virtual appointments feeling the same that I would if I was in person and that is most helpful.
