Let me start by saying, I’m so glad you’re here. Asking for help is a vulnerable and courageous thing to do, and I’m genuinely happy you are considering therapy. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, anxious or depressed. Or maybe you’re ready to unburden yourself from past events that impact your life now. Whatever it is, we will work together and find a way to reach your goals. I will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space and personalize a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs. I understand that your challenges affect both mind and body, and will be creative in developing solutions to treating the whole person.
I have over 12 years of experience working with teens and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, dissociation, gender dysphoria, stress related to chronic health conditions, attachment issues, and complex and single event traumas. I use a range of evidenced based practices, including EMDR, and adapt them depending on what resonates with you.
Contact me by phone or email to set up a consultation. I would be honored to hear from you and see how I may be of support.
