Sometimes in life, we face various problems or setbacks that impede our identity, self-esteem, relationships, and/or aspirations. Through therapy, we can safely and quickly develop ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In conjunction, I utilize specific ways to help you build your inner resources/skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.
I am trained in various specialities, which includes DBT, AEDP and EMDR to focus on various attachment and other personal traumas/PTSD. I practice from an interpersonal, experiential, and mindfulness based approaches. I consider myself to be a holistic trauma-centered, interpersonal and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
As a therapist, it is my goal to create a safe relationship that relies on trust, respect, and collaboration. Please reach out if you would like to know more and to schedule a session to make meaningful changes within your life!
