In my work with individuals and couples, I support clients through stressors that arise, and assist them in tapping into their internal resources and self-discovery to navigate through these challenging times. I create a safe and supportive environment to work with clients to heal relational wounds, foster understanding, create closeness, and support each other through change and growth.
I am a certified in Emotion Focused Therapy. I help individuals and couples explore emotions and identify how cycles of misunderstanding have evolved, how to interrupt them, and how to connect with one-another in a new way. And I offer EMDR to individuals who feel stuck and want to bring down the stress in their bodies and hear their self-assured voice.
I recognize that it takes tremendous effort to even reach out and begin this process, and I look forward to working together and creating deeper self-knowledge and change.
