I see my role as an advocate. With a strong belief in human resilience, I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck and limited by life's challenges. By developing a safe and collaborative relationship with my clients, I empower them to find the strength within themselves to live their lives fully and authentically. I specialize in healing from traumatic experiences and addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship patterns, and low self-esteem.
My work is informed by eclectic theoretical approaches, including attachment, existential, and cognitive behavioral theories. I have received specialized training in art therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Both techniques are particularly effective when traditional talk therapy does not suffice, especially when processing trauma.
Together we will determine your goals for treatment and tailor a path for you to achieve those goals. I bring curiosity, openness, and creativity to each session and look forward to working with you.
