About me
I believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every individual, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns of behavior, we become stuck. One may know their behavior is unhealthy or preventing growth, yet unaware of how to change.
The process of therapy is exploring what is stopping you from living your best life and offering support and guidance to make changes. I have experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, person-centered, and solution focused.
I show up to the therapy room as my authentic self—friendly, passionate, and optimistic. My work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT), as well as EMDR, and I tailor each approach to fit the individual needs of my clients.
I am dedicated to offering a supportive environment, conducive to developing skills, curiosity, and healing. I work with teenagers 16 and up, adults and families. Take the first step toward investing in your health and email me to set up a free 15 minute consultation so that I can answer questions that you may have.
