About me
Life is difficult, but it can also be beautiful. Are you struggling to see the beauty of your own existence? Are you overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness, fear, anxiety? Are you haunted by your past? Are you struggling to change life-long habits and addictions? Having an unbiased person in your life that can support, empathize, and hear your story can be transformative and healing. These are all things I can offer you as a therapist and a human being alongside you on your journey through life. I am here to co-facilitate your healing journey and cater my approach to your unique and individual needs. I have specialized training in psychoanalysis, mindfulness meditation, and dream interpretation. I also specialize in treating children and adolescents with a history of trauma with Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
