Let's get curious, and work together to unlock the transformative power of your unconscious mind! I believe that through the process of therapy we can relieve you from the shackles of burdensome negative thoughts and discover true self and self love. As a psychodynamic therapist, I am deeply committed to facilitating transformative change and healing in the lives of my clients. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, I am here to walk alongside you! I work with men, women, adults, adolescents, couples and everything in-between.
I truly enjoy working with people experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related symptoms. By incorporating EMDR techniques within a psychodynamic framework, I will help you find relief from oppressive thoughts and impulses and move towards a more balanced and empowered state of being.
I want you to know that I genuinely care about your well-being and the challenges you may be facing. I am here to listen, validate your experiences, and work collaboratively with you towards healing and personal growth. By reaching out, you are taking an important step towards your own well-being and investing in yourself.
