Are you struggling with difficult emotions, relationship/family issues, trauma, uncomfortable life transitions, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Help is available. My goal is to create a safe and connected therapeutic relationship, where you can feel comfortable, seen, understood and accepted for who you are. As we work through your issues, you will drive the focus, pace and intensity that feels right to you. Together we can create more awareness of and clarity about your needs and wants, and to work through any past painful experiences that are preventing you from living the life you want.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families with issues such as mood/anxiety disorders, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, relationship issues, family conflict, among others. I am certified in CBT, DBT, and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Aggression Management Specialist and Certified Mindfulness Instructor.
I believe overall wellness includes one’s physical, emotional, and spiritual interactions from the client’s perspective. I offer a collaborative and compassionate approach to treatment to facilitate a transformative experience. I commend you for taking this first step and hope to walk beside you on your journey to wellness.
