Do you struggle with setting boundaries? Are you lacking a sense of self? As your therapist, I can assist with learning interpersonal effectiveness skills to assertively get what you want and need out of not only relationships with others, but your relationship with yourself! Remember, "You cant pour from an empty cup." Let's work on filling yours up!

As an EMDR-trained therapist, I can assist with tackling long-lasting anxieties and phobias inhibiting you from becoming your best self. I provide my clients with an array of mindfulness-based tools and techniques to assist with establishing a sense of safety. I utilize both cognitive and body-based techniques to ensure an all-encompassing treatment.

As an EMDR-trained therapist, I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and validating environment for clients to process their trauma, so they can heal and become the best version of themselves. I have put in hours of post-graduate training to become a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) & I conduct sessions through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens.

Anxiety and worry are rooted in the future. That is why grounding and mindfulness is SO important. As a therapist, I utilize an array of here-and-now techniques and tools to help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms return to a sense of safety in the present. I teach clients tools from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to ensure an all-encompassing treatment.

In conjunction with EMDR and mindfulness-based treatment, I engage clients in cognitive techniques to assist with challenging maladaptive thoughts and beliefs that impact mood. I provide psychoeducation on how thoughts impact emotions which impact our behaviors and help clients identify limiting beliefs that are contributing to current symptoms.

My main treatment approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Re-processing (EMDR), which focuses on helping clients adequately process traumatic memories and negative experiences that are currently causing distress. Past trauma has the ability to change our worldview in the present, contributing to an ongoing sense of danger, fear, hopelessness, and shame. That's why, as a therapist, I use an array of here-and-now techniques to assist clients in re-establishing a sense of safety.
