I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients achieve their goals. In our first session, we’ll explore your concerns and determine the best approach. CBT focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, helping you challenge unhelpful patterns. Play Therapy provides a safe space for children to express and process emotions through play. EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity. My client-centered approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your unique needs.
I specialize in working with children (ages 6 and up), teens, and adults, employing a strength-based, client-centered approach that is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental. My therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Arts Therapy, Play Therapy, EMDR, all tailored to clients needs.
I value the therapeutic relationship, creating a safe, supportive, and trusting space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're facing challenges, processing trauma, or building new skills, I’m here to support you every step of the way toward your goals.
