I am passionate about guiding clients toward their goals with warmth and non-judgement. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and strive to strike a balance between helping someone understand the "why" and the "how" throughout therapy. Asking why did I come to be here; what have I been doing that isn't working anymore and how can I go about change? Pain, whether relational or within work-life can be an invitation to make the changes necessary to grow. I believe that growth toward a successful and healthy future is possible with deeper understanding of one's past and taking steps toward change.
I have interests and experience in serving adult clients who have experienced trauma in the past, relational loss, anxiety/depression, abuse, and addiction. I have extensive training in EMDR, a therapy that is especially helpful for PTSD. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which offers practical tools for change.
If you are looking for a warm therapist who will gently challenge you to take a look at your situation through fresh eyes, I can help. Everyone experiences pain in life. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk alongside us for a season.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma, often stemming from difficulty in their current relationships. For the first few sessions, we will get a better idea of what got you here and collaborate on a plan of how to address what is currently causing unease. When a client can see their story with new lenses, they often experience an unexpected freedom.

I use a variety of treatment types depending on the individual. However, the most common approach is identifying what belief systems have been learned along the way (for example, "anger is bad"/ "I am responsible for other people's happiness"). Once identified, I aid you in replacing the beliefs that are not productive and help you create strategies that will better serve you.
