If you are tired of hurting and in need of healing and transformation, I am the person you are looking for. I am passionate about providing therapy services for individuals, couples and families. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, sacred and nonjudgmental holding space for your personal exploration and growth. My therapeutic focus encompasses a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss (which includes a myriad of losses), and the profound impact of childhood sexual abuse. I understand the delicate nature of these experiences and approach each individual with empathy and compassion.
Among the approaches I use in my practice are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, strength-based therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed techniques. Also, the genogram is utilized to help clients uncover and understand generational family patterns that may contribute to current challenges.
