I have extensive experience treating anxiety disorders, including GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety, and phobias. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, I help clients understand triggers, manage symptoms, and build coping skills. My work focuses on reducing avoidance, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and increasing emotional resilience through a supportive, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic relationship.

I have significant experience treating depression, including major and persistent depressive disorders. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT to help clients identify negative thought patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with purpose. My work emphasizes compassion, emotional safety, and collaboration to support clients in improving mood, daily functioning, and overall well-being.

I have extensive experience treating PTSD and trauma using approaches like EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and somatic-based therapies. I help clients process painful experiences, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that fosters healing, resilience, and empowerment at each client’s pace. I know working through trauma is difficult. I approach trauma with care and understanding to best help you overcome your struggles.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through years of clinical experience and advanced training. I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop healthier behaviors, and build effective coping strategies. My structured, goal-oriented approach empowers clients to make lasting change and improve their emotional well-being.

I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and have successfully used it to help children, adolescents, and families process trauma. I guide clients in managing trauma-related thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through structured, evidence-based techniques, while creating a safe, supportive environment that fosters healing and resilience. I have utilized this approach regualrly and gained many years of training in this modality as well.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and have used it effectively to help clients process trauma, reduce distress, and reprocess painful memories. Through structured phases and bilateral stimulation, I support clients in achieving emotional relief and long-term healing. My EMDR practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that prioritizes safety and empowerment. I have taken many extensive trainings to effectively use this modality in my practice.
