I have a Wait List for December. You’ve already taken a huge step by reaching out, congrats! I have 14+ years of experience dedicated to helping individuals walk through their healing and growth journeys. My practice is grounded in creating a safe, empathetic, and supportive environment tailored to your unique needs. Together we will work to develop goals, balancing support with constructive challenges to help you move forward. My aim is to empower you to understand yourself better, develop new skills, and achieve an overall feeling of well-being.
I specialize in PTSD and trauma-related disorders, anxiety disorders and working with other therapists. I also have a special interest in working with neurodiverse individuals and work with a diverse population of clients. We will work together to tailor your treatment to your needs for your unique goals and abilities, and help you achieve those goals.
In our sessions, you can expect a laid-back and approachable atmosphere. I believe that feeling comfortable and understood is crucial for effective therapy. At the same time, I am committed to challenging you in ways that promote growth and resilience. My approach is integrative and client-centered, utilizing evidence based methods.
