Specialties

Life can sometimes hurl challenging curveballs. As a supportive companion, I stand by my clients as they gain valuable perspectives on vital life matters. We delve into the essence of healthy relationships and the art of nurturing a positive self-image. Together, we explore the impact of early attachment styles on our present-day connections and the importance of establishing balanced boundaries. In addition, I assist clients in examining their existing body image, processing the emotions underlying it, and fostering a resilient mindset. Here are a few of the clients I specialize in working with.

Trauma and PTSD

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in helping people heal from trauma and PTSD. I've found that therapy is one of the most effective ways to help people find relief and achieve a sense of peace and safety. I believe that recovery from trauma is possible, not only for those who have suffered trauma in recent years, but also for those whose traumas are decades old. I know how hard it can be to talk about painful experiences, but with patience, understanding, and support, we can work together to bring healing and inner peace.

Mood and Anxiety

I'm a therapist who is passionate about helping people struggling with mood, depression, and anxiety disorders. My goal is to provide support and understanding so that each person can find their own best strategies and make meaningful progress. I strive to create a safe space where people can process difficult emotions and explore more positive options for managing their mental health. By providing individualized guidance, I hope to support my clients in creating their own paths to healing. Together, we can work towards meaningful and lasting changes.

Eating Disorders

As a professional therapist, I have dedicated a large portion of my practice to helping those suffering from eating disorders. My approach is tailored to each individual, and I strive to create an environment where they feel comfortable and can talk openly about their struggles. In our work together, I provide support and guidance for forming healthier habits and coping mechanisms to help them overcome their challenges.

I understand the difficulties that come with facing an eating disorder, which is why I aim to make all of my clients feel understood and respected throughout our sessions. Through working with me, my clients have been able to learn more about themselves and their health issues in order to make positive changes in their lives.

Toddlers and Children

As a mental health therapist with a focus on the youngest members of our society, I am deeply committed to nurturing the emotional well-being of toddlers and children aged 3-12. My practice is centered around creating a safe, compassionate, and engaging environment where children can express themselves freely, explore their feelings, and develop coping strategies that serve them both now and in the future. Understanding that each child is unique, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs, employing a blend of play therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. My goal is not only to address current challenges but also to lay a foundation for resilient mental health that supports these young individuals throughout their development into adolescence and beyond.

Therapy Approaches

I'm an advocate of using a multimodal approach to therapy, which incorporates different therapeutic models in order to create the best outcome for my patients. This approach includes mindfulness, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Each of these approaches can provide its own unique advantages when it comes to dealing with psychological issues and together they offer a more holistic view of mental health and well-being. I believe this integrated approach can be incredibly beneficial for my clients to help them reach their goals quicker and with greater success. I'm passionate about offering my clients the best quality care and helping them to become more empowered in their own lives.

I believe that mindfulness therapy is a journey of self-discovery. It is a journey to find inner peace, to accept yourself and the world around you with compassion. Mindfulness is not a destination, it's an ongoing process of awareness and growth - one step at a time. With each step comes greater understanding, more self-love, and an improved ability to cope with difficult situations. Every day you can look forward to the possibility of learning something new about yourself and the world around you, allowing for deeper connections and more meaningful experiences.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to patients who are on their journey to healing from mental health issues. The primary goal of CBT is to help the patient change unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior, in order to improve both their physical and mental well-being.

It's a process that I take very seriously - one that requires patience, understanding, and dedication both from me as the provider and the patient. We work together to identify underlying issues, uncover triggers, and develop strategies for long-term success. This process can be difficult but extremely rewarding for everyone involved.

As a therapist, I'm passionate about helping my clients find relief from their struggles. One of the services I offer is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which helps my clients process difficult memories, emotions, and experiences. This technique has been proven to be an extremely effective form of treatment, and it's something that I'm proud to be able to offer. I take great care in creating an environment that is both safe and respectful for my clients as they embark on this journey with me. I'm committed to helping them find the relief they deserve.

My goal is to provide evidence-based tools for helping couples create stronger connections, no matter the stage of their relationship. As a Gottman Level 1 therapist, I am committed to helping my clients build strong and lasting relationships that will last for many years to come.

As a therapist specializing in couples' therapy, I understand that emotional well-being is key to a healthy relationship. Through activities, assessments, and conversations, I strive to create an emotionally safe place for couples to work through their issues and conflicts. My goal is to help couples find meaning and understanding within their relationship so that they can communicate effectively and create strong relationships built on trust, respect and love.
