I am a compassionate therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate challenges in relationships, conquer anxiety and depression, navigate and overcome heartbreak, and achieve their best selves in both personal and professional realms.
I'm uniquely positioned as a former foster parent and I have an extensive background in Early Childhood Education, Higher Education and Education Administration. I am uniquely positioned to understand the on-going plight of educators.
Using talk therapy is centered around the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. The warmth and connection within this relationship can foster trust, aiding the healing process by providing a safe space for exploration and self-discovery. It's a key element in promoting emotional well-being and facilitating positive change.
Understanding your unique therapeutic needs is foundational in building a trusting relationship with my clients. Reach out anytime, and let's start a conversation about how I can support you on your change healing journey.
