On a "good day," do you feel exhausted? Perhaps you feel like your past is interfering with your present life. Perhaps you are juggling everything and everyone else while barely making time for yourself. If that's the case, let's see if we can get you out of your funk. Life's difficulties are not always predictable. As your therapist, I will guide you through these difficulties in order to improve your ability to live a happier and more emotionally stable life.
I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities to address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, severe mental illnesses, and trauma.
YOU, as the expert in your life, will set the pace and progress of desired goals. WE will navigate life's transitions and challenges by working together to process our thoughts and feelings in a safe space. I look forward to collaborating with you on your future endeavors!
