You may be looking for therapy to overcome addiction or break free from harmful habits, to heal from trauma, or to develop the tools necessary for building and maintaining healthy relationships.

Therapy is an investment in your well-being, and I am here to support you through your difficult times. With a focus on fostering hope and purpose, my approach helps you overcome obstacles and discover your inner strength. I am dedicated to providing you with the skills and insights needed to thrive on your own.
Let's begin this transformative journey together toward healing, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and attentive environment where your concerns are prioritized. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve through our sessions. I take the time to thoroughly understand your specific needs and circumstances. Together, we will then formulate a clear, actionable plan with specific, measurable goals tailored to your situation. This initial meeting is crucial for laying the groundwork for our journey towards your personal growth and healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having focused on working with individuals and couples over the years, I've honed a specialized approach that allows me to effectively identify the root causes of your struggles, whether they be related to trauma, addiction, or relational difficulties. I develop a tailored plan that not only addresses these issues but also leads to measurable progress. This focus ensures that each session contributes to a clear path forward, enhancing your ability to manage and overcome the challenges you face.

My treatment methods
Brainspotting
I integrate Brainspotting as a therapeutic approach that helps clients process and release deep-seated emotional and somatic issues. By identifying "brainspots," specific eye positions correlated with emotional activation, clients can access and process unresolved trauma or distressing experiences. Through gentle guidance and focused attention, Brainspotting facilitates the connection between mind and body, promoting healing and emotional regulation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples and individuals navigate through relationship challenges and emotional distress. EFT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative interaction patterns while fostering secure emotional bonds. By promoting understanding, validation, and empathy within relationships, EFT facilitates deeper emotional connections and strengthens the foundation for healthy communication and intimacy.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I incorporate Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy as a transformative approach to healing emotional wounds and fostering personal growth. AEDP emphasizes the creation of safe and empathetic therapeutic relationships, allowing clients to explore and process difficult emotions with courage and resilience. By integrating experiential techniques and relational interventions, AEDP empowers clients to cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of inner strength.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. By teaching practical skills and strategies, CBT empowers individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms, manage stress more effectively, and cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a therapeutic model that views the mind as a system of various "parts" or subpersonalities, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and motivations. In my practice, I use IFS to help clients explore and understand their internal dynamics, cultivate self-compassion, and integrate conflicting parts to achieve greater harmony and authenticity within themselves.
