Specializes in

Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Loss, Stress, and Trauma

Great to meet you!

I use CBT and EMDR to help clients navigate grief, trauma, and challenging transitions, including financial changes. My approach fosters balance in relationships, health, friendships, finances, hobbies, and spirituality. I assess life aspects, set goals, manage stress, provide financial guidance, and enhance communication. For those concerned about medication side effects, I specialize in low-dose management to maximize benefits while minimizing adverse effects. I take a holistic approach to care, combining functional medicine, supplements, and herbal healing to support long-term wellness. This method is focused on gradual, sustainable healing rather than immediate crisis management.

🌿 For those needing urgent or emergency care, I kindly recommend seeking providers specializing in acute interventions.

💡 Healing is a journey, and my approach is best suited for those ready to engage in a thoughtful, integrative process. If you feel this may not be the right fit for you at this time, I encourage you to explore other providers who align with your current needs.

I am here to support those who are committed to a transformative path toward wellness and appreciate your understanding in finding the right care for you. 💙

A bit about my approach to therapy

Focused on young adults, youth, and adolescents, my practice caters to clients grappling with fears and uncertainty about starting medication. The approach involves specialized support through cognitive and behavioral therapy, considering safe medication only if necessary. I advocate for low medication doses and maintain frequent follow-ups, prioritizing a cautious approach in the best interest of the patients.

I am committed to providing high-quality care to my clients during the following hours: 🕖 Monday – Thursday: 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM 🕛 Friday: Shortened hours

🔹 Phone Availability: Calls are reserved for existing clients and scheduled complimentary consultations. 🔹 Priority Scheduling: My current clients receive scheduling priority, including emergency contact options. 🔹 New Clients: New clients may experience a waiting period or need to explore alternative providers.

Your well-being is my priority, and I appreciate your understanding as I continue to offer personalized and attentive care to those I serve.
