I bring compassion, humor, and evidence-based practices to every session, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs. My specialties include trauma, substance use recovery, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ support, and gender-affirming care. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward achieving your own goals. I use evidence-based modalities like ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach. I also offer EMDR therapy, equipping clients with diverse tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and create lasting change.
Healing is a personal journey, and I provide a compassionate, supportive space for growth. Life's challenges, past experiences, and obstacles can sometimes make it hard to feel safe expressing our true, authentic selves. These inner narratives can weigh us down, making it difficult to connect with our inner strength.
Everyone deserves a space where they feel understood, valued, and appreciated. I believe healing is rooted in connection and the freedom that comes from sharing vulnerability in a safe, therapeutic space. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and customized to each client's unique needs. Call me today for a free consultation.
