I embrace a client-centered approach, DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
Does life feel stressful and overwhelming? Do you feel depressed, defeated or anxious? Are you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Does a critical inner voice undermine your confidence? Overwhelmed by past trauma and unresolved emotional wounds, you may feel like you aren't living your best life. This emotional weight is too heavy to carry alone. Together, we can unpack these feelings, process trauma, learn emotional regulation, and develop coping strategies. Therapy is a safe space where you can feel truly heard and find the peace, clarity, and relief you are looking for.
