I have the privilege of working with children (12+) and adults who are navigating various challenges in their lives. I am certified in Brainspotting, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy, and Neurofeedback. I have a particular interest in OCD, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. At the core of my counseling philosophy lies a balance between empathy and challenge. With deep compassion, I believe that every feeling is valid, though I also understand that not all emotions lead to a fulfilling life without thoughtful exploration and intention.
I employ an integrative approach that combines client-centered, CBT/ERP, Brainspotting, and reality therapy techniques to provide comprehensive and individualized support. I often pair talk therapy with Neurofeedback. This approach allows me to treat a broad range of problems that clients may be facing, ensuring that their unique needs are addressed.
I am dedicated to continuously seeking new ways to address and treat issues, always striving to find what works best for my clients. I am not a counselor who believes in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I mold my methods and strategies to meet you exactly where you are on your personal journey to growth and recovery.
