I value and integrate a variety of theories and interventions to fit each client’s needs and goals, some of the modalities being EMDR, CBT, EFT, and Person-Centered.
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from others, like you are daydreaming or walking through fog. Stressors can become too overwhelming to deal with, even seemingly simple task can feel too much. I can provide you with the opportunity to identify and challenge difficult thoughts and emotions, while creating new ways to effectively cope with stressors. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that allows space for self-expression and self-discovery while revisiting the past. Together, we can face the challenges of the past and find new a new way forward.

Have you ever felt that you wanted to go to therapy but you were afraid of the process? I get it! Therapy can feel scary and overwhelming, especially if you've never been before.
