Great to meet you!

I am a warm, compassionate, and empowering therapist that works diligently with clients to help them reach their goals. My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in becoming the best version of themselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I have experience conducting individual and group therapy with adults and elders in a variety of settings.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. I have training in traditional talk therapy and specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting. EMDR and Brainspotting work beyond traditional talk therapy to target the memories and negative core beliefs that are holding you back. I will also work with you to develop coping skills to tolerate life stressors.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to feel empowered and validated while working with me. Clients will build the skills to improve their lives and become the best versions of themselves.
