Great to meet you!

Asking for help is difficult and I acknowledge your effort in reaching out. In therapy, establishing a trusting relationship is key--it is within the relationship that growth occurs. I look forward to hearing from you and being with you on your journey.

My approach to therapy

My orientation is primarily psychodynamic with an emphasis on mindfulness. I am also trained in many evidence based modalities that can help you achieve your treatment goals. I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Level 1 and 2 iRest (integrative yoga Nidra meditation).

What you can expect from me

I provide a welcoming and warm environment that cultivates growth and change.
