I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, relationship challenges, and anxiety, while also having experience working with a wide range of diagnoses. My approach is grounded in the belief that a strong therapeutic connection is the cornerstone of effective therapy. In our collaborative and trusting space, you’ll have the freedom to explore your thoughts and emotions at a pace that feels right for you, and together, we’ll uncover paths toward healing. Once this foundation is in place, I use a tailored approach, drawing primarily from trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and ACT.
We’ll focus on developing practical tools to manage your concerns while also delving into the deeper emotional and psychological patterns that may be shaping your experiences. I believe that true, lasting change comes from understanding the core of your challenges.
Recognizing the value of our relationship, I aim to understand your experiences and goals deeply. You're not alone. Together, we'll craft strategies for managing challenges and fostering self-awareness and self-compassion. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Reach out. Let's embark on a journey toward mental health and wellness together.
