My mission is to help you uncover the insights and transformations you seek to live your best life. Whether you're looking to alleviate anxiety or depression, or need support in processing trauma or grief, I bring over 15 years of experience assisting teens, adults, and families. Together, we will rethink and reframe your experiences for quicker healing. In our work together, we will explore a variety of coping skills that promote meaningful change, empowering you to build the fulfilling life you truly desire and deserve. You don't have to navigate this path alone; I'm here to support you every step of the way.
I specialize in helping you through life’s challenges using evidence-based techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This method is particularly effective in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My approach is warm and non-judgment, creating a safe space for you to explore your emotions and unlock change.
I believe in the irreplaceable value of a web of healthy, supportive relationships for individual and family functioning, and revel in being part of that community. I emphasize the importance of self and emotional awareness for regaining power and recognizing patterns that keep individuals feeling stuck and powerless amidst life’s ups and downs.
