In my 12 years of practicing psychotherapy, my focus has always been on the client—their struggles and their triumphs. I create a space where individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and various challenges feel heard and understood. Each session is a collaborative journey, tailored to your unique needs, as we work together to navigate the path towards healing and improved well-being.

Beginning therapy with me means embarking on a collaborative journey where your experiences and goals are a priority. In our sessions, we'll work together to find practical solutions and coping strategies tailored just for you. Expect a safe and supportive space for personal growth and positive change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a therapist lies in my empathetic and nonjudgmental approach. Additionally, my niche in therapy revolves around helping individuals manage emotions, work on attachment issues, navigate life transitions, and heal trauma.

My treatment methods

Integrative

In my integrative psychotherapy practice, I employ a client-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, IFS, and schema therapy. By seamlessly integrating these therapeutic models, I strive to offer a professional, comprehensive, and individualized treatment experience. This method encompasses addressing thoughts, emotions, behaviors, processing memories, and exploring inner feelings, ensuring a holistic and adaptive approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

I really appreciate that she listens and remembers things we talk about. She Shows empathy and compassion. She allows you to vent, but also puts you back on track to not stay stuck there. She gives positive feedback,and coping skills so you don't stay stuck in your negative thoughts. She helps to help you focus. I definitely world recommend her.
