Everyone has a different path in therapy. No matter what issues you are struggling with, it is possible to find peace and achieve a more meaningful life. Some of the things I enjoy working with include: childhood trauma, attachment issues, OCD, PTSD, men's issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, divorce, parenting, grief and loss, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.
My goal is to help you achieve sustainable patterns for a more fulfilling life. I aim to help my clients rediscover themselves and live a life aligned with their values and beliefs. My style is warm, relational, and nonjudgmental. I am practiced in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and CBT, and frequently incorporate guided meditation in my practice.
In therapy, we laugh, we cry, we process the pain of the past, and find solutions for the future. The simple act of dedicating the space and time to better understand yourself and your emotions is transformative. My role as your therapist is to walk with you on the path to self discovery.
