Do you feel like you know all of the tools and can explain your symptoms but still feel stuck in the same pattern of emotion and behavior? Do you find it challenging to express your needs or emotions for fear of upsetting others? Are you easily impacted by other people’s moods? Do you often set goals for yourself but then aren't able to be consistent? I get it, you want to live a life that isn't about just surviving but about living with purpose and intention. You deserve to feel free of your past and live a fulfilling life and it is possible.
My approach is integrative and client-centered. I provide a safe and empowering space for reflection, learning, and exploration. I give you tools to understand your patterns and engage in more adaptive ways of approaching life's challenges. My belief is that self-awareness and validation are key for creating long-lasting changes in behavior.
Feeling better and taking more aligned actions are possible and you are not alone. I have extensive training and experience helping clients with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, perinatal mental health, and life transitions. Reach out today for a free consultation.

While my approach is individually tailored to your needs, I typically combine the use of CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR in my approach with clients. I use these approaches to help you identify and understand the connection between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and how they are related to past experiences/traumas. I also provide you with practical tools for symptom relief and behavior change.
