I help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict in a supportive environment. I recognize how anxiety, past trauma, and emotional disconnection can impact relationships and take a trauma-informed approach. Whether couples face recurring conflicts or external stressors, I help them address deeper issues, including the effects of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or PTSD, creating a safe space where both partners feel heard and understood.

I provide compassionate support for those struggling with depression, helping clients develop coping strategies and regain a sense of purpose. Depression often coexists with anxiety, PTSD, and past trauma, so I take a holistic approach to healing. I also work with survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault, guiding them through emotional recovery while addressing the impact on self-esteem, relationships, and daily life.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced PTSD, including survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and high-stress professions like first responders and military personnel. I use trauma-informed care to help clients process distressing memories, manage triggers, and regain control. Since PTSD often intersects with depression and anxiety, I focus on both emotional and physiological healing, helping clients rebuild resilience and restore their sense of safety.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process trauma and reduce distressing symptoms. EMDR is especially effective for PTSD, anxiety, and survivors of domestic abuse or sexual assault. By guiding clients through structured eye movements, I help them reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and fostering long-term healing. My trauma-informed approach ensures a safe and supportive space for recovery.

I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping skills. DBT is highly effective for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and emotional dysregulation, especially those recovering from trauma or abuse. Through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation techniques, I empower clients to regain control over their thoughts and behaviors.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and PTSD. CBT is highly effective in breaking cycles of distress by promoting healthier thinking and coping strategies. I work with clients to reframe limiting beliefs, manage symptoms, and develop practical skills for long-term emotional resilience, especially for those healing from trauma, abuse, or self-doubt.
