I take an eclectic approach, integrating EMDR, CBT, and DBT to support individuals facing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem challenges, PTSD, and emotional burnout. I also provide affirming, trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA individuals navigating identity-related concerns. I'll collaborate with you to create a plan to help you reach your mental health goals. Having someone who can be there through some of the harshest times in your life can be part of the solution to getting your life back on track!
Working together will offer insight into other areas of concern, such as attachment injuries and repair or relationship issues. I know that change is hard. I am here to help; it all starts with having the courage to make an appointment! Getting from “I’m fine” to “I’m thriving” is a fantastic feeling that I hope we can work together to make you feel again!
We often come to sessions with feelings and behaviors that keep us from feeling our best and make life a struggle. It’s important to give yourself a break and, at the same time, learn new skills that help you cope. Call me to chat about the next steps together.
