Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or having a hard time managing emotions? Are you struggling with relationships or feeling lonely or isolated? Through our work together, you can learn to manage stress better, learn how to have healthy relationships and better communication, learn to understand and work through anxiety and depression, and to process and recover from traumatic experiences.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As an EMDR trained therapist, I help individuals heal and grow and thrive - and am honored to take part in others’ journeys toward healing, clarity, and peace. I also work with parents who are struggling with their children’s behavior - to better understand the needs driving those behaviors and learn to apply positive parenting practices. Together we can work on helping you to better understand yourself and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

I often use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, as well as other modalities to assist teens and adults with processing and overcoming the negative effects of their past traumatic experiences.
