If you are seeking a more authentic life and want more enjoyment in your daily routines, therapy can help. I am passionate about helping individuals who are motivated to make a change their lives or relationships. Together, we work to break unhealthy patterns, alleviate emotional pain, and heal from significant events that influence the way you view yourself and the world. With respect, positive regard, and healthy sense of humor, I work to draw on your strengths, foster emotional resilience, deepen your self-awareness, feel unconditionally accepted, and help you to develop the skills and motivation to live the life you deserve.
I believe that people possess the incredible ability to grow, change, and heal. I enjoy helping individuals facing: depression, anxiety, perinatal mood disorders, life transitions, parenting difficulties, and relationship issues. I integrate EMDR therapy, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral strategies.
It is important to feel connected to and supported by your therapist, as the therapeutic relationship is the most important ingredient in successful therapy. Please feel free to check out my website to get more of a 'sense' of me, or contact me for a 15-minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit for each other.
