I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who takes a holistic, empathetic approach to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I understand that every person is unique, and I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their emotional, mental, and even physical well-being. I specialize in therapies like EMDR, DBT, and ERP, offering tools and support to help you heal from past trauma, regulate emotions, and overcome anxiety or depression. Together, we'll focus on your growth and empowerment, creating a safe space where you feel understood and equipped to live a fulfilling life.
In our first session together, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can share your concerns, experiences, and goals for therapy. We’ll begin by reviewing your history, including any challenges or symptoms you’ve been experiencing, and discuss your mental health background. This session is all about understanding you better and exploring how we can work together to help you feel more balanced and supported. We will also discuss your treatment goals, and I will explain how I tailor my approach to best suit your needs. Depending on what feels right, we may start identifying immediate tools or coping strategies to help you manage in the short term, as well as create a plan for our ongoing work. My priority is to ensure that you feel comfortable, heard, and understood throughout our time together.
My greatest strengths as a provider include my significant experience working with individuals dealing with complex and deep-seated pathologies, such as trauma, OCD, and mood disorders. I have a deep understanding of these challenges and am committed to utilizing evidence-based approaches like EMDR to help my clients process and heal. I also bring a high level of empathy to my practice, always striving to truly understand each client’s unique experience and perspective. I’m deeply committed to continuous learning, which allows me to remain adaptable and ensure that my therapeutic interventions are always aligned with my clients’ evolving needs. Ultimately, my goal is to work collaboratively with clients, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting change.
I am best positioned to work with clients who have experienced trauma, mood disorders (including bipolar disorder), psychosis and OCD. I specialize in helping individuals understand their symptoms, gain insight into their mental health, and develop strategies for managing their conditions. My approach is ideal for clients who are not currently in crisis, as the Telehealth nature of our sessions allows for focused, ongoing work in a safe, supportive environment. Whether you are seeking to process past trauma, stabilize mood, or reduce the impact of psychosis, my goal is to help you improve your quality of life through personalized and empathetic care.

As a therapist, I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am currently working toward full certification. I integrate EMDR into my practice as a highly effective tool for clients dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other distressing emotional experiences. My experience with EMDR includes utilizing its 8-phase protocol to help clients process unresolved traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and reframe negative beliefs about themselves. I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can engage in the reprocessing of distressing memories while also learning to regulate emotional responses. I have seen significant progress in clients who have struggled with the lasting effects of trauma, and I continually utilize EMDR to empower clients to resolve past issues and develop healthier coping strategies. The approach has proven to be especially effective in helping clients reduce intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation related to trauma, enabling them to move forward with greater emotional stability and resilience.
I have extensive experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with clients who experience emotional dysregulation, particularly individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In my practice, I integrate DBT's core components—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—into treatment plans to help clients build skills that promote emotional stability, healthier relationships, and effective coping strategies. I guide clients through individual and group sessions, where we focus on developing mindfulness techniques to help clients stay present and observe their emotions without judgment. I also emphasize distress tolerance strategies to manage emotional crises without resorting to self-destructive behaviors. Through DBT, I help clients increase emotional resilience, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve their interpersonal skills, leading to enhanced functioning in their daily lives. I have seen significant improvement in clients' ability to manage intense emotions and navigate interpersonal challenges, making DBT an invaluable tool in my therapeutic approach
I have significant experience utilizing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with clients struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety-related disorders. ERP is a key component of my practice, and I use it to help clients gradually confront their fears and intrusive thoughts in a controlled, systematic manner. In treatment, I work with clients to identify their specific obsessions and compulsions and then create a tailored exposure hierarchy, which allows us to start with less anxiety-provoking situations before working up to more challenging ones. I support clients as they intentionally resist the compulsive behaviors that typically follow their distressing thoughts, helping them to learn that their fears are often irrational and that anxiety will naturally decrease over time. I emphasize the importance of tolerating discomfort in the short term in order to reduce the long-term impact of the anxiety. By providing a safe and supportive environment, I guide clients through the gradual process of exposure, allowing them to break the cycle of avoidance and compulsions, ultimately improving their quality of life and fostering long-term recovery.
