Thinking about therapy? Wondering if it will be helpful? Worried you might be judged? These are all normal to feel when starting or thinking about starting therapy. I don’t know if I will be the right match for you, but you won’t know unless you give it a try. I will work to listen and understand you, without judgement, so that we can work together to bring about change and enhance your well-being.
My approach combines cognitive‑behavioral strategies with a trauma‑sensitive perspective to help you shift unhelpful thoughts. I’ve completed EMDR basic coursework and am accruing consultation hours in order to complete my training. In addition, I integrate mindfulness and relaxation to support mind‑body connection and genuine growth.
Making sure you feel comfortable and have a good fit with your counselor will help you to feel more at ease and confident in the process. Please, feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice and mindfulness. With CBT it will allow us to understand how your thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors. I can then teach you how to reframe those thoughts to change your emotions and behavior. The use of mindfulness allows for a better body and mind connection and improved general health.
