Oftentimes we don't understand how our experiences impact our view of the world and we do our best to cope with the tools we've been given. I aim to help my clients learn new coping skills, both individually and in relationships. I assist clients to uncover and work through big and "seemingly" small traumas.
I focus on a humanistic approach and have formal training in both EMDR and CPT. I believe in and enjoy helping clients find their free will and potential, and work through self discovery. I work with adults and older teens with a variety of therapy types. We can work together to find the best therapy fit for you.
I value a collaborative therapeutic relationship and will work to help you where you are and to get you to where you want to be. I want to help you develop your Future Self where you are the creator of your story. If you are interested in working with me, please visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

I work with clients that feel overwhelmed due to life stress from everyday life, or traumatic events. During our first session we will determine goals to help you feel your best. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
