Many things in life can lead you to reach out for support when old ways of dealing with challenges no longer work. You may be carrying trauma, pain, or navigating life transitions that feel overwhelming. Together, we can tap into your natural ability to adapt, grow, and release the "old stuff" that no longer serves you. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to reorganize patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting to better align with your present reality. My aim is to help you grow in awareness, integration, responsibility, and authenticity. I believe you know yourself best of anyone, whether you fully realize it or not.
I practice from a strengths-based, person-centered approach, collaborating to support clients' growth and healing. While I primarily use a person-centered approach, I integrate CBT and ACT. I am certified through EMDRIA in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps address barriers rooted in past adversities and traumas.
I am continually grateful to meet individuals where they are, as myself, and empower them to discover deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. The therapeutic process begins before I ever speak with a client, and it often takes some courage to reach out. If you are considering therapy, call or visit my web portal to consult or schedule a visit.
