Great to meet you!

I've had many years working in therapy, from drug addiction rehabilitation centers, youth services, community counseling centers in a hospital setting and individualized treatments, I know together we can find what you're looking for.

My approach to therapy

I take a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, utilizing multiple modalities including CBT and DBT. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and accelerated resolution therapy (ART) for trauma and PTSD.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me means having a place where you are in the drivers seat. If you want to jump into your deepest traumas, right on, if you are more interested in just finding general support and coping skills to help you in life, I'm all about it. This is your journey, I'm just along for the ride.
