I can help you identify and meet your deepest needs while transforming your relationship with yourself and others. My goal is to have my clients become successfully independent with life-long tools for success.
I believe in healing the cause of suffering. I am certified in trauma focused EMDR Therapy to help individuals and I am a Certified Gottman Therapist for couples. I combine evidence-based treatments with the trusting relationship formed between therapist and client to foster change and growth. I provide over 19 years of experience as a clinician.
