I am passionate about helping others on their journey to recovery and healing. My specialties include addiction, alcoholism, trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias.
I utilize several intervention approaches in therapy, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Brainspotting, EMDR, Mindfulness, iRest and Auricular Acupuncture. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment to help you explore, process and work through any challenges you may be facing.
I believe in a client-centered therapy approach, meaning therapy will be tailored to your individual needs. Whatever you are going through, you don't have to do it alone. I am here to help you on your journey to healing.
