Great to meet you!

As a Marriage and Family therapist, I take pleasure in helping clients acquire skills to build healthier relationships.

My approach to therapy

My expertise in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is geared towards management and reduction of depression, anxiety and substance use. As a trained clinician in EMDR, I can help reduce the impact of trauma memories.

What you can expect from me

My skill set and training targets ineffective behaviors, habits and erroneous beliefs that often prevent the client from moving forward with their personal goals.

I work with adults, children, adolescents and couples in a collaborative manner that is humanistic and person-centered, so clients can become the best version of themselves
