Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. It often takes time to find someone who truly fits your needs and understands your journey. That’s why I offer free phone consultations—to begin building a connection, learn more about your goals, and see if we’re a good match for working together.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, always tailoring my approach to best support each client’s unique needs. Among the tools I offer are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Sandplay Therapy—each designed to support healing by engaging both the mind and body
I believe the relationship you develop with your therapist is one of the most important parts of the therapy process. I provide a supportive therapeutic environment that is comfortable, safe and conducive to personal growth, for clients of all ages.
