About me
With a passion for holistic well-being and two decades of experience in the field of mental health, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. I use a range of therapeutic modalities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to EMDR and other body centered therapies. Sessions will be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we'll explore the challenges you're facing, discuss relevant history, and come up with a treatment plan for our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have many therapeutic tools from years of experience that can help guide you but at the root of them all is an ability to listen deeply with presence and emotional grounding - essential for connection and change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with a diverse population - from adolescence to older adults. “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.” I strive to create a space where healing occurs - a place where you can sit with difficult thoughts, emotions and behaviors, and develop the tools to transform them.
