I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing trauma-focused, anxiety reduction, empowerment-focused therapy since 2019 for teen and adult patients with trauma, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It’s about your story, how it has come to be, and where it will lead you next. I integrate multiple psychotherapeutic approaches depending on your needs and preferences to give you the insights and tools to feel good about your choices. I am a member of Alma, a collective of practitioners and am available for teletherapy. I offer one consultation free of charge so that you may ask your questions and learn more about me and my style.
I work with a diverse range of individuals. I am fully trained in EMDR therapy, with a level 2 certification in Gottman Therapy. My approach includes reprocessing traumatic or adverse experiences & triggers, building up a client's self-confidence, sense of power, and positive self-image to help create an enjoyable lifestyle.
We will gently analyze together what has and hasn't worked for you in the past and then apply your strengths with new interpretation. I use a trauma-informed lens and integrate multiple approaches to change behavior and interpersonal interactions. At the base of all my work is your narrative - both the one you tell yourself and the one you want to live.
