Great to meet you!

My experience ranges across many age groups, including children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults and I offer individual therapy. I specialize in working with abuse and trauma, anger, anxiety, ADHD, autism, caregiving, grief and loss, inner child work, learning disabilities, life transitions, panic, parenting, phobias, PTSD, sexual abuse, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harm and self-injury, social anxiety, spirituality and stress.

My approach to therapy

I am especially passionate about incorporating mindfulness and spiritual approaches that can help clients focus on the here and now and rediscover their innate quality of worthiness and wholeness. I also specialize in evidence-based practices such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

What you can expect from me

I offer a safe nonjudgmental space, acceptance and compassion even for the darkest parts of you so that you may learn to bring love and acceptance to all of you, thereby integrating yourself and alleviating symptoms the result from splitting off parts of yourself. Guiding you to discover all of your authentic parts that got lost along the way due to painful experiences. I will help you cultivate greater alignment between your values and true desires, and how you can embody them in your life.
