About My Clients

My counseling philosophy is to treat all my clients as unique individuals and to help them to achieve their goals in the least amount of time possible. I do not believe in keeping clients in therapy forever; rather, I want to empower them with the self-awareness, coping strategies and life skills needed to realize their best selves. That said, sometimes, clients can benefit from and even prefer long-term support, and that is, of course, an option I can provide as well.

My Background and Approach

Many therapists like to stick to one modality, and that can be fine. But I believe that the greatest service you can do for clients is to provide them with as many treatment options as possible. After all, what may work for one person may not work for another. And by incorporating various modalities into a therapeutic approach, I can design a more dynamic and comprehensive healing plan. In addition to EMDR, I use elements of ego-state therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for course-correcting harmful thought and behavior patterns. Somatic Therapy is a powerful tool for identifying, unlocking and releasing trauma, stress and anxiety in the body.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In my personal life, I am passionate about social justice, equal rights and advocating for underserved populations. I am a huge animal lover and I enjoy being outdoors, swimming or hiking. And I love trying different restaurants, going to museums and traveling—anything that introduces me to new experiences, deepens my knowledge of people and enriches my well-being.
