Great to meet you!

I am a licensed counselor with a Masters in Counseling. My practice is rooted in extensive experience working with diverse populations. I offer a unique blend of evidence-based and creative approaches.I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic interventions such as Expressive Arts.

My approach to therapy

I have an integrative approach and practice from a person-centered, and systems theory framework. I believe that exploring your life story can aid you in understanding the intricacies of your identity, how they intersect and guide you in life and in your relationships. Embracing and celebrating all facets of who you are allows you to be the author and voice of your life story.

What you can expect from me

I create a welcoming environment where you can gain practical and effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges. Our collaborative journey aims to achieve the following outcomes:

Work through traumas through specialized techniques like EMDR, fostering a sense of empowerment and closure.

Experience a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem as you navigate and overcome challenges, celebrating your unique strengths and accomplishments.
