You deserve a life where you feel seen, heard, and whole. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened by trauma, grief, anxiety, or life transitions. Deep down, you’re seeking clarity, peace, and a path forward. You want to heal old wounds, understand yourself more deeply, and develop the tools to create real, lasting change. You’re ready to feel empowered, confident, and connected to your true self—and I’m here to help you get there.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we'll begin by getting to know each other. I'll ask about your current challenges, your history, and what brought you to therapy. We'll also talk about your goals for therapy and how I can support you in reaching them. I’ll explain my approach and the tools we can use, such as EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness, to help you heal and grow. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer sense of what to expect moving forward and how we can work together toward your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. My strength lies in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing you down and begin to reconnect with your inner resilience. I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen and supported—and that’s the kind of space I aim to hold for every client.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened by past experiences—whether that’s trauma, anxiety, grief, or the weight of major life transitions. They often have a deep desire for clarity and change, but aren’t quite sure how to get there.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is one of the evidence-based therapeutic tools that I use in my practice to address and heal symptoms of emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Mind-body approach
This approach to therapy takes into account body, mind and spirit to promote overall healing and wellness. I use an integrative approach considering all aspects of the human experience as equally important.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness practices that include present moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises based on client need and interest. This therapy is helpful in addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD and panic disorders. Using these tools, the mindfulness-based therapist teaches a client to be in the here and now as well as break away from negative thought patterns.
Trauma Informed Care
My practice over many years has included clients who have experienced significant trauma including homelessness, living in foster care, abuse and neglect. I work with clients to address the root causes of their symptoms and to provide compassion, perspective and guidance toward healing.
