Great to meet you!

Each of us has a story to tell. Many times, it is hard for us to embrace and honor our story due to hurt, pain, imperfection, and shame. As humans, we all suffer in different ways. However, there is hope in our suffering. We can move forward with self-growth and healing. In therapy, you always have me on your side to support you, hold space for you, and walk through this darkness together. I am here for you and you are not alone in this healing process.

My approach to therapy

I hope we can work together to have more clarity regarding who we are (being) and learn better and healthier ways to handle what we do and how we respond (doing) through owning our stories, loving ourselves, and learning new ways to grow. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT) to address belief systems, emotional needs, emotional regulations, and new behaviors. I am a certified facilitator of Prepare-Enrich.

What you can expect from me

Being heard and understood is part of the healing process. I will enter your world and use my eyes to see, my ears to listen, and my heart to feel. I will validate your thoughts and feelings. We work together to seek clarification and healthy living. I am happy to work with you through learning new coping tools and empower you with different skills and resources. Please remember that healing is a process not an event. I will walk along together with you and provide the support that you need.
