About

Have you ever felt that starting the therapy process is frightening but needed? Does the idea of sharing past traumas and working towards healing seem impossible? Have you been experiencing anxiety and depression for so long that it seems like the norm? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. Participating in therapy is a way to address these issues and to start experiencing more joy in life. My primary focus is on building trust and safety while helping you connect with your own capacity for growth and healing. I utilize CBT, EMDR, Somatic Work, Play Therapy techniques, Psychoeducation, Mindfulness Techniques, and more to guide you towards calming your nervous system, reframing thoughts, and reclaiming your sense of self.
