I offer a warm, compassionate, and welcoming atmosphere where you can feel respected, relaxed, and safe to share openly. Whether you seek guidance or support, I can help you make healthy changes. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My professional work addresses the individual needs of those experiencing symptoms related to depression, grief, and anxiety. I approach each client from a whole-person perspective. I have professional certifications in the areas of grief, and trauma-informed work to ensure that strategies and interventions are client-driven.
Clients can expect a safe and confidential space where they can openly discuss their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Our session will typically begin with clients sharing what's been on their minds and any specific issues they'd like to address. As your therapist, I will actively listen, ask questions, and provide guidance to help clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work toward their goals. Clients can expect a collaborative and non-judgmental environment where personal growth and self-discovery are encouraged.
I have professional certifications in the areas of grief and trauma-informed work to ensure that strategies and interventions are client-driven. I am EMDR trained.
Working with both adults and teens in therapy is a deeply rewarding experience for me. It allows me to witness the resilience and growth of individuals at different stages of life. With adults, I appreciate the opportunity to assist them in navigating life's challenges, fostering self-awareness, and developing coping strategies. On the other hand, working with teenagers is equally fulfilling, as I get to guide them through the journey of adolescence, helping them build essential life skills and fostering a sense of empowerment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) in my counseling work for many years and It's been effective in assisting many of my clients in dealing with persistent thoughts and handling their anxiety. With CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and how they impact one another. Then, we'll apply this understanding to adjust your thinking habits, ultimately helping you to lead a calmer and less stressful life.
EMDR
As an EMDR client, you can expect an initial assessment to understand your history and concerns. The therapy involves a preparation phase to develop coping strategies, identification of target memories, desensitization through techniques like eye movements, reprocessing to change negative associations, and integration of positive changes. Follow-up sessions are conducted to monitor progress. EMDR aims to alleviate emotional distress, particularly related to traumatic experiences.
