Great to meet you!

I hold compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive space where you will feel welcome and safe to explore and access deeply-held feelings, release blockages, experience shifts, and gain clarity. I provide warmth as well as direct and honest insight. I have over two decades of experience working in various healing and teaching capacities with highly diverse populations of adults, children and families. My approach to therapy is relational and interactive, creating a comforting environment where you feel seen, heard, and develop tools to guide your progress and growth.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in EMDR (EMDRIA-approved formal training), Brainspotting (Phases 1-5, Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing, Play Therapy, Sand Tray, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Certification in Hypnotherapy. I have obtained a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master's Degree in Education with background in teaching students with disabilities in special education. I specialize in treating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, Grief & Loss (including bereavement, break ups, abandonment, and major life transitions). I often utilize visualization, guided imagery, and mindfulness as resources for emotional regulation, and I facilitate creativity, new perspectives and self-awareness.

What you can expect from me

I am here to help you gain ways of experiencing calm, alignment, empowerment, and interpersonal growth in a non-judgmental and caring space. Seeking therapy is a courageous and dedicated act of self-care and I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.
