Choosing to embark on a therapeutic journey is no minor step. It demands a mix of emotions, time, and finance. More than anything, however, it requires courage. When someone musters the strength to seek help, it's not merely for the sake of talking. They are looking for a professional who is fully invested in their wellbeing.I deeply believe in the inherent potential every individual possesses to effect positive change in their lives. My mission is to equip you with the skills and tools necessary to realize that change. My focus is on adults, including (but not limited to) Veterans, First Responders, and those recovering from MVA.
In addition to EMDR and Internal Family System therapies, I bring specialized approach of DBT and CBT to our sessions. But what truly sets my practice apart is my exposure to diverse populations across various continents. This experience has not only broadened my horizons but has also instilled in me a unique blend of cultural sensitivity and competence.
My commitment to you is to be genuine, to be present, and to actively listen. To understand and validate your complete journey. There’s no greater honor for me than to accompany you through your struggles, changes, healing, and transformation. To be there and “hold” the space for your journey is the essence of my practice.
