Welcome! Life can often feel overwhelming and we all need a safe space to feel seen, heard and understood. Therapeutic outcomes are strongly rooted in the relationship between client and therapist. I focus on creating a non-judgmental and validating environment by encouraging self-exploration, curiosity, honesty, awareness and open communication. Therapy is a collaborative journey and we will work together to improve your quality of life; building a life that is more meaningful and reflects the person you want to be and the life you want to live. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to the individual’s needs.
I utilize evidence-based treatment models, specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I'm also clinically trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Constructed Awareness. I treat a wide variety of psychological issues in adults and adolescents from a trauma-informed perspective.
If you would like to see if we would be a good match or to know more about the process, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
