About My Clients

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Are you struggling to cope with grief or past traumas? Do you feel misunderstood or struggle with feelings of unworthiness? Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have sought therapy before, my primary goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking about difficult experiences.

My Background and Approach

Using EMDR, I am committed to giving a safe space to navigate these feelings and offer a path forward. I draw from a variety of models to individualize the needs of each client and their treatment process. With compassion and acceptance, I work with each person to help them recognize and build on their already existing strengths.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones.
