I deeply value the unique journey of every individual and couple I work with. I believe that understanding your own story and experiences can be transformative, and I’m here to support you in that process. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe and understood, respecting your identity and choices throughout our work together. While I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, person centered, strength based, solution-focused, and Gottman method for couples therapy, I frequently use the EMDR approach to address and resolve various distressing experiences.
I also recognize the value of holistic care, acknowledging the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I counsel individuals seeking to integrate their spiritual and faith-based beliefs into their therapeutic journey.
With a holistic approach to healing and an unwavering commitment to client-centered care, I aim to demonstrate a compassionate and comforting presence by accompanying clients in processing and making sense of their world and guiding them to a place where light, hope, peace, and purpose can be known.

I like to regularly use EMDR in sessions. Together, we will explore issue/s to target, identify or develop coping strategies and resources to ensure readiness, discuss use of EMDR and process memory of incident using guided hand movements or other variations to reduce distress. We will identify and shift negative beliefs toward more positive ones, improving your emotional response and coping.
