I acknowledge the profound vulnerability that comes with sharing personal stories, particularly those involving trauma, illness, grief, addiction, or depression. Creating a secure, compassionate, and respectful space is my priority. I am deeply attuned to the individual needs of each person and strive to establish trust through active listening and unwavering support. I rely on evidence-based techniques and approaches that are aimed at empowering you to unlock your true potential. I adopt a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of balance and optimal health
I have experience helping clients with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, gender identity, grief, emotional relationships, infertility, and family issues. I specialize in treating complex PTSD for first responders and military personnel, and am trained in EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness.
In our therapeutic journey, I will support you in exploring your emotions in a safe and non-judgmental space. We will work collaboratively to gain insight into the underlying issues that may be impacting your well-being and relationships. We will develop personalized strategies and techniques to address challenges, build resilience, and achieve your goals.
