I am committed to helping adults navigate the unique challenges they face, from managing self-doubt and societal expectations to healing from past wounds. Through a compassionate and empowering approach, I guide clients in building healthier relationships, setting boundaries, and reclaiming their personal power. Whether dealing with life transitions, unresolved emotional pain, or the balance between career and family, my goal is to provide the tools they need to create meaningful change. Together, we work on fostering self-compassion, uncovering inner strength, and breaking free from patterns that no longer serve them, enabling them to live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe to share your experiences and concerns. I will begin by introducing myself and explaining the therapeutic process, including confidentiality and the importance of open communication. We will discuss your goals for therapy and any specific challenges you are facing. This initial session is an opportunity for you to share your story, and I will actively listen, asking open-ended questions to better understand your unique situation. Together, we will explore your background, current circumstances, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. I will provide feedback and insights based on what you share, and we may identify some initial strategies or tools to begin addressing your needs. By the end of the session, you can expect to have a clearer understanding of how we can work together and feel more hopeful about the journey ahead

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
In my psychotherapy practice, I use EMDR to help clients process unresolved experiences and shift negative beliefs that keep them stuck. By targeting the roots of emotional distress, EMDR enables clients to reframe painful memories, reduce psychological triggers, and experience relief from symptoms. This transformative approach empowers clients to break free from limiting patterns, build healthier relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.
Polyvagal Therapy
In my psychotherapy practice, I integrate Polyvagal Therapy to help clients understand and regulate their nervous systems. By recognizing their body's response to stress and practicing techniques to shift into a state of safety and connection, clients can reduce anxiety, build emotional resilience, and foster healthier relationships. This approach empowers them to move out of survival modes like shutdown or hypervigilance, enabling more effective decision-making, self-compassion, and personal growth.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my psychotherapy practice, I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. Through learning to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations with curiosity and non-judgment, clients cultivate a sense of presence and reduce reactivity to stress. This practice fosters greater clarity, self-compassion, and resilience, empowering clients to make intentional choices that align with their values and create meaningful change in their lives.
