I deeply respect the courage it takes to schedule your first appointment and am committed to providing a therapeutic experience that resonates with you.
My approach centers on the belief that change comes from authenticity and vulnerability, from deepening our understanding of how we became who we are. Each session is safe and non-judgmental, all lifestyle choices are welcome. Together, we will explore ways to proactively approach your goals and make changes to what holds you back. When you enter into my room, you are no longer alone.
Specialized training in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy (NT), and Holistic Mental Health. I work with high-functioning adolescents, adults, and couples.
