Life is difficult. Psychotherapy is one way to address life's difficulties. Have you found your AI therapist can take you only so far? AI and apps can be quite useful, but lack the healing magic of human connection. I have advanced training in trauma healing and family dynamics. I'm certified in EMDR. I am able to work with individuals while keeping family and community in mind.

Effective therapy begins with the client-therapist relationship. In my practice I create a safe space for discussion surrounding life’s inevitable challenges. The foundation of my sessions is empathy, and from an empathic perspective I seek to guide clients toward finding their own inner strength in the face of difficulty, complex emotions, loss, and traumatic situations. I am a highly sensitive therapist and I am skilled in treating highly sensitive people. Using a strengths-based approach, I can help foster understanding and resilience to move through negative experiences and self-defeating patterns into a place of empowerment.

Growing up in the world today has become exceptionally challenging for our youth. With technology and social media, families are confronted with more adversity than ever before. In our journey toward healthy development and happiness, we are experiencing escalating levels of pressure to achieve and "fit-in", when, in reality, we are all seeking a sense of belonging. Many parents and their children are trying to cope with depression/anxiety, social conflict, including bullying, and often traumatic experiences or exposure to traumatic events, which manifest in self-destructive behavior, low self-esteem, and social isolation.

Throughout our lives we may find ourselves pulled in many directions, especially between our friends and family, work and social expectations. It’s no wonder that we find ourselves struggling to keep up and experiencing a wide range of social-emotional difficulties. This can have a negative impact on the way we view ourselves and the world around us. We may then find ourselves stuck in a cycle, during which our negative thoughts result in increased feelings of anxiety, anger and depression. Psychotherapy can help you break out of this cycle and work towards establishing healthier thought patterns and feeling better overall.

I am a therapist whose goal is to establish a caring and safe relationship with my clients where they feel valued and respected. It is important to me that my environment is non judgmental and allows us to explore the issues or problems that have my clients seeking therapy. Together we can work through life's difficult issues to help you achieve a true sense of self. I have training in psychoanalysis and believe that looking at our past helps us to examine the present and gain insight into the difficulties we are experiencing. In doing so we can find inner strength we have to overcome them and lead happier more fulfilled lives.
