I have always felt a natural calling to become a therapist. While I may not follow a traditional approach, I bring a bright, warm, and connected energy to every session. Life can often be painful and uncomfortable, but I firmly believe that anyone can find purpose through their challenges. It would be an honor to hold space for you and support your needs as you navigate your healing journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The goal in our first session is to build the foundations of our relationship. Whether you've been in therapy for years or you are a first timer, I want you to feel at ease in sharing your story. You and I will work to identify and discuss life stressors that are affecting you. I will help you to identify current patterns that may be rooted in past adverse life experiences.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having navigated personal hardships and heartache, I have developed the capacity to hold space for whatever challenges you may be facing. My practice is built on being warm and nurturing, while remaining authentic and honest. Through my experiences as a wife and mother, I have learned firsthand how to navigate triggers, break generational traumas, and practice self-love. My goal is to provide you with the support and environment necessary to empower yourself and create sustainable changes in your life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who value holistic healing. The different parts of our lives are closely intertwined with one another, and I believe that the healing journey must acknowledge those parts.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR is a great modality to help individuals become "unstuck" when they experience a plateau in therapy. While EMDR therapy has a primary purpose to help people heal from the effects of trauma, it can also help with panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, and social anxiety. This is one of my favorite modalities to use because of its effectiveness and flexibility. While I am trained in EMDR therapy, I continually seek EMDR consultation to provide my clients with the utmost service.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As humans, we typically experience thoughts that shift between "all or nothing", "positive or negative", "good or bad", "black or white". CBT is a form of talk therapy that can help to neutralize the intense feelings we experience when rapidly shifting between opposing thoughts. CBT is grounded in both mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have found that CBT pairs nicely with preparation phases of EMDR therapy.
