I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, relationship and self-esteem issues, also life transitions. My approach is eclectic and compassionate, tailored to your unique needs, so we can build a path toward healing, confidence, and a more balanced life.
First session
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. From our first meeting, we’ll explore your goals, discuss important background, and create a personalized plan to guide our work; while also checking to see if we’re a good fit for each other. This is your time to share your story, ask questions, and get a sense of how we can work together to address your needs. We’ll explore what’s holding you back, set achievable goals, and build practical coping tools. Let’s tackle life’s challenges and find your path to healing, growth, and balance.

Treatment methods
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR and use it to help clients process and heal from past trauma and distressing experiences. Through a structured approach, I guide clients in reprocessing difficult memories to reduce their emotional impact and enhance resilience. I tailor EMDR to each client's needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment throughout the process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am experienced in using CBT to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By working collaboratively, I guide clients in developing practical strategies to manage challenges, improve emotional well-being, and achieve their goals. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, fostering personal growth and lasting change.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. By focusing on their strengths and innate potential, I empower clients to explore their feelings, set goals, and foster personal growth at their own pace.
