Great to meet you!

My role is to support your exploration of what is going on, where you want to go, and how to get there—and to offer helpful tools and support along the way. This includes working with clients to identify and change habits of thought and action that may be holding you back from making satisfying progress in your life. I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness Techniques, as well as many other relevant and helpful tools to assist you in reaching your goals. I am a strong believer in tools and offer as many helpful tools and practices as I can to benefit you.

My approach to therapy

As mentioned, I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness Techniques, as well as many other relevant and helpful tools to assist you in reaching your goals. All these tools are in service to building an overarching stance of self-love, self-nurturing and self-friendship, which fosters an unbreakable foundation of self-support.

What you can expect from me

I often help clients reconnect to themselves, sometimes after years of habitually placing the needs of others above their own. Sometimes these are children or partners of addicts or narcissists, or clients who buried their authenticity to survive childhood, and now as adults are ready to embark on a journey of rediscovery of authentic self and self-honoring action. I like tools, especially when it comes to treating anxiety, and understand that anxiety is in the body, not just in our minds. I help clients recognize and address symptoms of anxiety in the body as well as in thoughts. I work with many clients in various stages of recovery.
