Great to meet you!

No matter what you do, nothing has worked thus far. You still get frustrated by the same people & situations, and your relationships suffer as a result. You might even engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, & juggling all of it feels impossible. You may ask yourself “Why am I this way?” The answer often lies in early trauma. A chaotic upbringing, abuse, and not feeling seen as children can often result in emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that do not reflect our true selves.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing psychotherapy is client-centered & strength-based. I prefer to allow clients to be the guide of their treatment & to establish their own goals. I guide clients through treatment using trauma informed/focused evidence-based interventions including EMDR, CBT, CPT, TF-CBT, ARC, Solution-Focused, Problem-Solving, & Motivational Interviewing.

What you can expect from me

Ready for change? I can help you create change by helping the chaos to cease, and to attain inner peace and build stronger bonds with those you love.
