Growth is uncomfortable but so is staying the same. It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to improving your mental wellbeing. Together we will navigate your healing journey as you develop a greater sense of peace in your life.

In my office you will receive encouragement, empathy and validation. I will challenge you to integrate evidence-based tools and techniques in to your daily routines. If you forget how far you’ve come, I will remind you of your resilience and progress.

People decide to begin therapy for many reasons. Whatever you are experiencing, I believe there is hope for change in your life. I specialize in treatment of PTSD, mood disorders, addictions, and borderline personality disorder. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. Reach out to me when you feel ready. I look forward to meeting you.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Brainspotting
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
EMDR
Trauma Focused

I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. While talk therapy is helpful in many ways, these modalities actually physically engage your brain to process traumatic and upsetting experiences, resulting in improved mood, self-esteem, and thinking patterns. These evidence-based practices can be used to treat most conditions.
