Great to meet you!

I am relentless and passionate about helping people achieve emotional and mental healing. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults for over 10 years. Areas of experience include working with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, anger, family conflicts, and others. My main area of focus is trauma, which basically includes any events that have a negative impact on one's emotions and functioning.

My approach to therapy

On the first session I ask lots of questions about your past and present, so that I may gain a good understanding of the source of your problems. Then I utilize a trauma treatment protocol to help you eliminate the bothersome emotions that are holding you back. Solution focused strategies are also utilized to help you achieve your goals.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect elimination of bothersome feelings, improved self worth, and improved empowerment to take control of their life.
