Great to meet you!

I am an experienced trauma-informed therapist with a passion for providing a safe space for individuals and couples to grow. I specialize in relationship struggles, anxiety, complex trauma, processing of generational trauma, multicultural issues, work/life balance issues, and depression. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT and Couple's/Family restoration.

My approach to therapy

I have a special interest in personal development, and incorporate this curiosity into my work. Your early stage of therapy will take on a non-judgmental and curious look into what is bringing you into therapy. We will collaboratively identify available resources while also identifying opportunities for growth and change. Your sessions may include new insights, tears, and maybe a few laughs. My ultimate goal is for you to walk away from sessions with a new sense of awareness and motivation.

What you can expect from me

I encourage my clients to take on a non-judgmental view of their goals. We will will collaborate as you build a higher level self-awareness and understanding of the world around you and how you engage in it.

We will explore the role of your thoughts and emotions and how they drive behavioral patterns. Practice is the route toward preparation, and your sessions will be jumpstart to that journey.

Through support, new tools, and gentle guidance, you will develop routines to support your goals.
