Philosophy and Approach

I specialize in guiding individuals through life’s challenges and helping them discover a better version of themselves. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from various modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome trauma and reclaim their lives. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and offer a unique approach to healing that targets the root causes of psychological distress.

Through this powerful therapeutic technique, I guide clients through the reprocessing of traumatic memories, facilitating resolution and promoting emotional resilience. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship issues, or trauma, I provide a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, unlocking your full potential and creating lasting positive change in your life, free from the grip of past trauma.

LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy

Navigating the complexities of being a part of the LGBTQ community with someone who gets it is crucial. You need a space to feel completely seen and understood. If you are struggling with questions around identity, feel the weight of family and societal expectations, and sometimes face discrimination that you can’t always talk about with just anyone you are not alone. I’m a therapist that not only affirms who you are but also celebrates your identity. I truly understand the nuances of the LGBTQ experience and offer strategies tailored to your life.

Trauma-Informed Care

Living with the aftermath of trauma can feel like carrying a heavy shadow that only you can see. It affects how we trust, the way we love, and even our ability to connect with others. Here you will find a place to share your story in a safe environment where you can learn to live beyond your past, heal and grow. I understand the deep impact of trauma, and can help you recognize the signs you’re struggling to articulate, and will guide you through healing with patience and empathy.

Anxiety & Stress Management

Dealing with anxiety feels like being in a constant battle with your own thoughts. It’s exhausting to always anticipate the worst or to feel stuck in a loop of worry and stress. Seeking a therapist who can help untangle these thoughts and find strategies to manage and heal anxiety—not just coping with it. Learn how to quiet your mind, navigate stress without feeling overwhelmed, and move through life with a sense of peace and confidence.

Overcoming Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a double-edged sword; it can drive you to achieve but at the cost of never feeling good enough. This relentless pursuit of perfection leads to stress, anxiety, and sometimes, a fear of failure that paralyzes us from taking any action at all. Let me help you learn to navigate these pressures, set realistic expectations for yourself and embrace imperfection as part of the human experience. Find peace in learning to appreciate my efforts and understand that it’s okay to be perfectly imperfect.

What to Expect

In our sessions, you’ll find a compassionate partner in your mental health journey. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and understanding. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, identifying patterns that may be holding you back and developing strategies to move forward. My goal is to empower you with the insights and tools you need to live a more fulfilling life, embracing your true self.

Getting Started

Taking the first step towards healing can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I invite you to schedule an appointment with me, where we can discuss your needs, goals, and how we can work together towards achieving them. Whether you’re looking for support, guidance, or simply a space to be heard, I’m here to help.
