Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling with trauma, anxiety, or depression? Maybe you're facing relationship or family issues, or dealing with complex mental health challenges like PTSD or BPD. You're not alone. I'm here to offer empathetic, tailored therapy in a safe space. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and emotions, unravelling sources of stress and unhealthy patterns that you might have stored in your body and mind.
I integrate somatic approaches, IFS parts work, and EMDR. This allows us to work gently and effectively with both the body and the inner parts that hold emotion and memory. I also utilized CBT and DBT when needed. With couples, I draw from the same grounding principles while incorporating EFT and the Gottman tools.
The most beautiful aspect of my profession is getting to know so many different people and learning from their experiences and resilience. I believe that everyone has unique beauty within them, and I can’t wait to meet yours. It would be an honor to support you on your journey.
