When anxiety, depression, or past experiences begin to shape your everyday life, reaching out can feel difficult. You deserve a place where you can speak openly, feel heard, and work toward changes that matter to you. I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy, with a focus on understanding your experiences and helping you build practical skills for moving forward. As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, I also offer EMDR therapy when it fits your needs and goals. Together, we can work toward greater confidence, steadier emotions, and more room for the life you want to live.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered support, and EMDR to help you understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, strengthen coping skills, and address the impact of difficult experiences. We decide on goals together and adjust the pace and focus of treatment as your needs change.
