We serve children as young as 2 through older adulthood, offering individual therapy, couples therapy, Yoga Therapy, and our EMbody Program, an intensive trauma treatment integrating EMDR and somatic healing. Our therapists specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions using compassionate, evidence-based care to help clients heal, grow, and thrive.
Our Team
I specialize in supporting individuals facing trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I firmly believe that meaningful change occurs when you feel supported and valued. In our collaborative work together, we will explore your unique needs in a safe, judgment-free environment and identify the specific tools that will help you navigate life’s challenges. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to assist my clients in reaching their treatment goals.
