In the therapy room, connection is key to transformation. I create emotional safety through building relationship first then use my expertise in trauma informed care to address what's holding you back or what's keeping you trapped on this rollercoaster ride you don't remember signing up for. Therapy with me starts the moment you walk into the room and I aim to empower you through truly identifying and processing what you've been holding close to your chest. I offer you the mirror, held with compassion, and the powerful transformation that comes with looking into it.
With authenticity and a bit of well placed irreverence, I use relational therapy and evidence-based practices such as EMDR and DBT to help clients lean into their experiences and transform into the person they want to be or learn to overcome and work with difficult family members and loved ones.
Whatever life has thrown at you, you don't have to navigate it alone. Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. I currently accept Aetna and Carefirst and will be adding Cigna in the future.
