Do thoughts like "I’m stuck" or "this pain won't go away" occupy your mind? When difficult experiences aren't fully processed, they can become trapped, triggering discomfort and negative emotions in your daily life. My practice is dedicated to helping you move past these hurdles through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. To support your growth, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape negative thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you reach your goals efficiently.
As an E.M.D.R.I.A. Approved Therapist, I also offer EMDR to help process unresolved memories when needed. My goal is to provide a well-rounded, non-overwhelming environment where you can understand your past and gain the tools to thrive in the present.
My practice is based on having the right attitude toward people. It's easy to smile when you want the best for others. Contact me today to begin this life changing journey!
