Trauma is not what happens to us, but what happens inside of us, as a result of what happens to us. Getting to the core of why you think, act, and behave the way you do is the key to creating the life you want — the life you’re meant to live. If you’re someone who’s felt stuck, keeps coming back to the same destructive patterns, or has tried therapy before but didn’t gain lasting change, you have come to the right place. My first priority is to understand you as a person and work collaboratively to create a treatment outline to meet your goals.
My unique approach is evidence-based and holistic. I combine EMDR, Evox, CBT, DBT, and Attachment Therapies that work on many levels and create lasting change. I offer transformational tools, techniques, and strategies to remove emotional and mental blocks. With compassion and direction, we work together to identify and change stuck patterns.
I believe that productive therapy occurs when the client and therapist work collaboratively together with open communication and trust. I create a safe space for personal growth and empowerment while offering clients a non-judgmental and supportive environment to explore feelings.
