I am dedicated to helping individuals dealing with Transitions, Trauma, or ADHD achieve lasting and significant change. Within a compassionate environment, I guide clients through life's transitions, offering essential support, coping mechanisms, and a secure environment to examine emotions and objectives. Recognizing the distinctiveness of each person's journey, we can collaboratively move through these changes with resilience, grace and a bit of humor. I tailor sessions to meet the needs of the individual to help achieve desired goals empathizing present-moment awareness, non-judgment, self-compassion.
I have extensive experience in treating trauma (PTSD)depression, anxiety, body image concerns, addiction, and adult ADHD. Utilizing evidence-based practices such as EMDR (trauma), EFT, ACT, mindfulness and attachment-based approach to address these needs and develop healthy coping mechanisms, communication resolving conflicts, and a more fulfilling life.
I create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I firmly believe that all individuals and couples have inherent strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to achieve the desired outcomes.
