Let me introduce myself to you. I believe every person is unique, and therefore needs an individually tailored therapy approach. The philosophy of my practice is to help individuals overcome the challenges that confront them in order to achieve psychological, emotional & mental well-being. I do this by helping cultivate their inherent strengths and gain insight into the difficult areas of their life. For years, I have been helping adults, adolescents, and children find sound solutions to vexing problems. An empathic and action-oriented approach enables my clients to make real and lasting changes in their personal and professional lives. If you have been feeling stuck where you are and you are ready to create a new chapter in your life, then you have come to the right place. My work is influenced by the integration of several different forms of psychotherapy, as well as mindfulness and holistic practices. I integrate EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) into many aspects of my work.
I have experience working with a wide range of challenging conditions, including but not limited to trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, anger, bullying, grief, and loss.
Are you (or your child) feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or lost? Is your day full of racing thoughts about what you should do, or should not have done? About what could happen or what could go wrong? Do you put a lot a pressure on yourself but never feel good enough? Does it sometimes feel like the world is closing in on you? Are these thoughts and feelings interfering with your career, schooling, family, relationships, and social life? You want to make changes and feel better, but you do not know where to start. As your psychotherapist, I aim to help you navigate these bumpy waters of your life and empower you to regain control & make positive changes. I am a LMFT, ATR, EMDR, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, CCATP, (certified Clinical Anxiety and Treatment Professional with adults and children) and Trauma clinical therapist professional.
Everyone deserves to feel alive and live a life of joy and purpose. It is my belief that a holistic approach to mental health care is the best way to understand the unique complexities of each individual and the connection between a person's mind, body, and spirit.
I look forward to our journey together.
