My clinical approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help individuals work through past painful experiences.
Have you been worried, anxious and or depressed? Have past experiences left you feeling stuck and unable to reach your full potential? Are you noticing repetitive and intrusive thoughts that affect your everyday life causing you to feel as if your emotions are spiraling out of control? Perhaps it’s from anxiety, trauma or other life events. As humans, we all face challenges that cause us to feel overwhelmingly distressed and create a sense of imbalance in our lives. Whatever your concern, there is hope! As a therapist, I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, and compassion.

At the end of the day, relationships matter & I believe they are at the core of our success. How we interact with one another in every setting & how we treat ourselves is crucial to navigating through life. When we love ourselves, we are able to think positively, create & reach goals, take responsibility, understand things we can & cannot control, treat ourselves with compassion & have confidence. When one of these relationships if lacking or does not exist, we are suseptible to a plethora of mental health & life struggles.
