Welcome! Starting your therapeutic journey can sometimes be overwhelming and stressful. I try to provide a safe, secure, and empathetic environment as we work together to process through difficult emotions and thoughts.
I utilize a collaborative approach between the therapist and client, working together as a team to identify personal goals and ongoing treatment. Creating strong rapport, sometimes humor and a warm environment, while also generating thought provoking questions and opportunities for you to be challenged.
Modalities that I utilize in session include CBT, individual DBT skills, IFS, mindfulness, trauma informed skills-including EMDR techniques. Please contact me today if you have any questions or would like to start your therapy journey!
