Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate resilience and wisdom to develop more balance and fulfillment in your life. I focus on creating a healing space to express your emotions, understand how your life experiences have impacted you, reflect on your behavior and choices, consider new perspectives, and develop personalized tools to navigate your life with more confidence.
I have 12 years of experience in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, addictions, and relationship issues. Each of the therapies I utilize complement one another in helping us to understand a piece of the puzzle that makes us human, including: EMDR, DBT, CBT, Schema, Mindfulness, ACT, and Somatic Therapy.
Reaching out for help is the courageous first step in your healing journey. I invite you contact me for a free consultation to discuss how we can work together to help you build greater strength and wellness in your life.
