Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

As a person who have lived experiences, I understand that life can be sometimes difficult to navigate. This is why I used an integrative approach to therapy including: Grief and trauma interventions, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Person-Centered approach, Strengths-Based, Solution Focused, DBT, CBT, and more.

My office is a space where people can explore issues surrounding relationships, gender, trauma, grief, etc. I believe a person's time in therapy should be utilized to promote overall wellness and improvement in their quality of life.

I work with clients who maybe struggling with grief, trauma related issues, depression, anxiety, relationships, or family matters. During our initial sessions, we not only dive deeply into the issues that one may present with, but we collaboratively develop a concise plan for addressing these issues in a way that helps one get back to the life they want for themselves.

Trauma focused interventions

I often use various trauma-focused therapies in my practice (e.g., EMDR, IFS, Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment, and others). By engaging in trauma-focused treatment, the people I work with can learn more about what he/she/they/them are experiencing, how to address the concerns, and develop healthier ways of coping.
