Take a deep breath- you've already done the hardest part in realizing that something needs to change. Deciding to embark on the journey of therapy can be daunting, yet it marks a courageous step towards healing and self-discovery. I specialize in working with couples, parents, children, and adolescents, with a primary focus on trauma and attachment. Although I am trained in modalities including EMDR and Gottman therapy, my trauma-informed approach is rooted in compassion and a client-centered, humanistic approach, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
My goal is to empower clients by helping them navigate challenges, explore their narratives, and cultivate resilience. I am trained in EMDR and Gottman therapy, certified in Somatic Therapy Experiencing and am constantly learning to remain up-to-date with modern treatments for mental health.
Whether you're facing past traumas, navigating life transitions, or seeking personal growth, I am here to provide guidance and support every step of the way. We can embark on a journey towards a more fulfilling life.
