Great to meet you!

Many of our troubling thoughts and feelings come from beliefs we developed early on from difficult and painful experiences that went unprocessed. I believe we heal best when we fully embrace who we are, possess a clear vision of where we want to go, and engage in growing with the guidance of a compassionate, supportive therapist. You don't have to struggle alone. Contact me for a free phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

My approach to therapy

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach. I use a variety of sound, therapeutic techniques from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment, and EMDR therapies as appropriate. I am a big believer in the incredible healing benefits of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy.

What you can expect from me

Are you struggling with depression/anxiety, loneliness, divorce, abuse, miscarriage/infertility, grief, rejection, fear, self-destruction, isolation, lack of focus, lack of direction, etc? I can help you identify what is holding you back, where these beliefs came from, and how to heal so you can grow, engage and thrive! Want to feel better, but don’t know how to get there? I use assessment tools to help determine where you are struggling, & track progress along the way.
