About
I deeply value the unique journey of every individual and couple I work with. I believe that understanding your own story and experiences can be transformative, and I’m here to support you in that process. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe and understood, respecting your identity and choices throughout our work together. While I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, person centered, strength based, solution-focused, and Gottman method for couples therapy, I frequently use the EMDR approach to address and resolve various distressing experiences. I also recognize the value of holistic care, acknowledging the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I counsel individuals seeking to integrate their spiritual and faith-based beliefs into their therapeutic journey.
