I focus on helping individuals navigate grief and trauma by combining a direct and caring approach. Whether you're dealing with the pain of loss, past trauma, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore your feelings and work towards healing.
My approach to healing draws upon evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Ego State Therapy to equip you with tools to manage difficult emotions, change unhelpful thought patterns and build a stronger sense of self. Additionally, I offer EMDR intensives, which can be a powerful tool for accelerating your healing and reducing distress.
During our sessions, you can expect open communication, empathy, and unwavering support, as well as safe space to share your experiences and work towards lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist that understands the complexities of trauma and grief, and who is EMDR Certified, I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
