My approach to therapy is holistic and client-centered, focusing on the unique needs and strengths of each individual.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with issues related to depression, family relationships, grief and bereavement, multicultural and diversity issues, spirituality, stress, trauma, intimate and romantic relationships, anxiety, and life transitions. As a brainspotting practitioner, I utilize this powerful technique to help clients process and release deep-seated emotional pain.
