Evening & Saturday Availability. You may find yourself navigating intense emotions, anxiety, or depression, and problems in your relationships. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, understand your story with self-compassion, and move forward with intention, I'm here to support you. I work with individuals 16 and older. All sessions are virtual only for clients in Tennessee.
My approach is person-centered and flexible to your needs. I’m trained in EMDR. I integrate elements from DBT and CBT—to help with coping and skill-building, but I also focus on exploring the deeper patterns and past experiences that might be affecting you today.
Por el momento, estoy aceptando clientes para consultas por video solamente. Estoy capacitada en EMDR y tengo experiencia trabajando con adolescentes y adultos que enfrentan desafíos como traumas, depresión, ansiedad, trastornos del estado de ánimo, dificultades relacionales, duelo y transiciones de vida.
