Anxiety

Great to meet you!

I specialize in providing trauma-informed care, with a particular focus on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and evidence-based interventions. With six years of clinical experience, I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges in a supportive environment. I strive to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered, promoting healing and resilience.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe in tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, drawing from modalities such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Using trauma-informed care, I ensure that clients feel safe and supported as we work through challenging experiences.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave with a greater sense of clarity and practical tools for managing life’s stressors. I emphasize creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. Sessions are goal-oriented, and I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. Clients often report feeling equipped with strategies to navigate life’s challenges and experience increased self-compassion.
