There comes a time in people’s lives where what they have done isn’t working and they want to develop new coping skills. I feel I can help aid in that transition.

With that being said I have a lot of techniques and modalities that I can pick from from CBT, DBT, mindfulness and trauma based techniques like brainspotting.

For this reason, I use an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting each person where they are, exploring values, understanding hurts, discovering passions, embracing strengths, welcoming challenges, and much more!
