I utilize a variety of modalities including person-centered, Humanistic, trauma focused, attachment-based, play therapy, mindfulness, sand tray.
Unconditional empathy and understanding are rare in this world, and yet we all need both. I recognizes change is difficult but believes people have a strength and the ability greater than they realize to move through difficult times and heal. My goal is to cultivate a supportive and healing environment in which clients feel seen, secure, and protected. My focus is on a person’s potential and not problematic behaviors. My approach provides the space for individuals to step into a growth mindset, gain insight, belief in themself, and opportunity to appreciate their uniqueness.

Curious about trying EMDR? You've come to the right place. I provide support for children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, sexual assault healing, infidelity, and grief and loss. I use a trauma-focused approach that is grounded in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Occasionally, I will supplement the work with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, art therapy, and concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS).

You may be suffering with symptoms of depression, trauma, chronic pain, and anxieties. When you reach out for help, feeling better is an inevitable outcome. Often, when you begin to more mindfully experience your inner world, you may feel more emotional intensity before you feel better. My therapy approach is holistic in the sense that I acknowledge and work with the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Are you tired of not feeling good enough? Are you wanting to understand why you’re your own biggest critic? Are you seeking therapy in hopes to create a life of fulfillment, authenticity and balance? Maybe you’ve found yourself time again wondering why you feel stuck. Whether it’s your job, relationships or lifestyle, you continuously feel like something is amiss. You may wonder why fear or stress play such a heavy role in your life. Thinking about the past, or even the future, keeps you from being present in the moment. You wonder if the stories you tell yourself are holding you back from greater potential.
