Whether you find yourself on my page seeking a return to therapy, information to help you find the best fit therapist for you, or to start therapy for the first time, welcome. I consider it an honor that I spend my career being a witness to the lives, stories, and growth of my clients. I strive to create a space where those who meet with me can develop a sense of safety to express what they need to heal unresolved hurts and achieve their personal therapy goals. Clients work with me on building insight, practicing acceptance, challenging unhelpful thought & behavior patterns, and learning skills to improve their self-care and coping.
Trauma Informed Care and Anti-Racist Psychotherapy principles are foundational to my therapeutic approach. I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to address traumas and unresolved underlying sources of present distress. I also draw on a mix of therapies to best meet your personal needs; including Schema, ACT, IFS, CBT and DBT.
Life can get complex and overwhelming sometimes, and anyone can be weighed down by the things that have happened to them, or by difficult thoughts or emotions they are experiencing within themselves. I invite you to call me for a consult to see if I may be a good fit for you, and if so to work with me on addressing your mental health needs.
