Person-centered therapy is at the core of my work. Rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, this approach views you as the expert of your own life. My role is not to “fix” you but to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we uncover strengths, build resilience, and explore new perspectives. Moving at your pace, this approach empowers you to grow, heal, and create lasting, meaningful change.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Using eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR activates natural healing, reducing the emotional intensity of past events. It is effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In a safe, supportive space, EMDR allows you to heal, regain balance, and move forward with strength and clarity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT equips you with practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges. Together, we focus on building healthier coping skills, reframing negative thinking, and creating lasting change. CBT empowers you to face challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience.

I treat PTSD with a compassionate, evidence-based approach that includes EMDR, CBT, and person-centered therapy. These methods help reprocess traumatic memories, reduce distress, and build coping skills. In a safe, supportive space, clients learn to manage triggers, regulate emotions, and restore a sense of control. My goal is to empower you to heal at your pace, strengthen resilience, and move forward with clarity, balance, and renewed hope for the future.

I treat Bipolar Disorder with a balanced, evidence-based approach that may include CBT, psychoeducation, and supportive therapy. Together, we focus on recognizing mood patterns, managing triggers, and building healthy coping strategies. I provide a safe space to explore emotions, strengthen routines, and improve relationships. My goal is to help clients achieve stability, resilience, and confidence in navigating both highs and lows while fostering long-term wellness and personal growth.

I treat anxiety using CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered strategies to help clients understand triggers, manage racing thoughts, and reduce worry. In therapy, we work on building practical coping skills, calming the body, and reframing unhelpful thinking patterns. My approach provides a supportive space to face fears at your pace, strengthen confidence, and regain balance. The goal is to empower you with tools that bring lasting relief, peace of mind, and greater control in daily life.
