Many of the individuals and/or couples I work with have issues ranging from trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction issues, poor communication skills and an inability to regulate emotions effectively, trust issues, and those just looking to improve aspects of their lives. I believe people have the answers within themselves, they just need someone to help recognize their true inner strength and ability cope with life's ups and downs.
My specialities are CBT, CPT, Somatic Psychotherapy for PTSD and as well as preparing Letters of Readiness for Gender Affirmation Surgery.
I am so looking forward to working with you. Taking the first step is always the most difficult, but I am here to make the transition as smooth as possible. I welcome being a part of your journey to well-being.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
