I utilize CBT tools, somatic therapy concepts including biofeedback, and Gottman relationship to tools help you cope with life.
Life is hard. Sometimes, life can seem unbearable, especially when difficult events like trauma, loss, or relationship conflicts happen and lead to depression and anxiety. During difficult times, you may believe that you have no choice but to suffer in secret, especially with the continuing stigma of mental health issues. However, I want you to know that you don't have to suffer on your own. Seeking therapy can be a daunting and scary process, and finding the right therapist for you can be difficult and confusing.

Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness approaches, I help individuals process their experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with their inner strengths.
Anxiety, life transitions, and past trauma can create uncertainty, self-doubt, and emotional distress, making it difficult to move forward. You may find yourself overwhelmed by racing thoughts, struggling to adjust to new circumstances, or feeling stuck in the weight of past experiences. These challenges can affect your relationships, work, and overall well-being, leaving you unsure of how to regain balance. While change can feel daunting, it is possible to move toward healing with the right support and guidance. You don’t have to navigate these struggles alone—therapy can provide the tools and insight needed to help.

I use a client-centered and solution focused approach to counseling, based on a cognitive-behavioral model of emotions and behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral means that we will examine how your thoughts and beliefs affect your feelings and actions. Research shows that CBT is the best available drug-free approach for most psychological problems. It is my belief that everyone can benefit from examining how their thoughts affect how they feel about themselves and the world around them.

Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT, we’ll work together to make small but meaningful shifts in your thoughts,
Life’s ups and downs can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re navigating them alone. Sometimes, we push through and get by, but over time, the weight of relationships, life transitions, trauma, or work can become too much. Without a true sense of belonging, it’s even harder. Pretending everything is fine can be exhausting. Maybe you feel like you don’t fit in, like you’re a little too different. These experiences can leave you feeling anxious, drained, disconnected, or stuck. I specialize in helping people go beyond the surface to uncover the quiet struggles beneath. Whether you’re facing unresolved pain, intergenerational

I have an eclectic and nurturing approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Attachment therapy, Mindfulness, and EMDR therapy to offer an individualized approach to therapy.
Parenthood and family building is shown as this easy goal full of joy and magic, but your experience has been the exact opposite. You are surprised at how you feel: overwhelmed, anxious, angry, alone, devastated. You find yourself consumed with the “what ifs” and guilt. Scary thoughts come up and you feel a deep loss that is difficult to put to words. You wonder: Will you ever feel normal again? And what will normal even look like? In our work together, you can learn coping strategies, examine beliefs that leave us feeling stuck, process trauma, develop self compassion, and build confidence in your parenting abilities.

I teach Positive Disciple parenting course, use CBT & Adlerian psychology to deal with relationship issues to work toward a solution.
"Life is difficult. . . a series of problems." Scott Peck wrote in Roadless Traveled. I can't describe it any better, but there are so many possibilities, changes that can happen when you take a step of courage. Therapy is a good way for some self reflection, to face the challenges, accept it and be at a better place. I believe that challenges are opportunities, for growth and strength; you can't do this alone, social psychology says. Let me help, to provide a safe place for connection and empathy to take that step, explore what may be holding you down and how you can be free and to live the best that you can be.

My experience and expertise provides me with tools from DBT, CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Family Systems, addiction, and attachment approaches to help adolescents and adults achieve best outcomes.
Life can feel chaotic. Whether you are considering your first time in treatment, continuing or returning to treatment, my goal is to provide you with the platform and skills to effectively evaluate, identify and create solutions to help you. It’s important to remember that therapy is not always about ‘fixing’ a problem. Sometimes, it is about learning how to work with the problem by creating awareness, strengthening insight, developing or broadening skills you already have. It is a joint effort between the therapist and the client, working together, to impact change and bring balance to what may otherwise feel out of control.
