Hello and thank you for visiting my page!
I am so happy you decided to take the most difficult step and reach out for support! I wish more people realized that they didn’t have to continue to live day to day struggling to make it through. People usually come to me because they are experiencing anxiety, panic, sleeplessness, depression and perhaps other symptoms like flashbacks or nightmares. Their relationships are suffering and they are having a difficult time functioning at home and work. Most times, they have been feeling this way for so long that they can’t imagine a life of feeling peaceful, calm and happy.
What would it be like to wake up and feel good? To have energy, be able to get a good restorative nights sleep and feel emotionally stable and well? What would it be like to not constantly be triggered and have knee jerk emotional reactions that you may or may not understand? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to focus on the things that matter most in life and the reason you are really here on this earth?

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.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Developmental Therapy Looks at how childhood and developmental experiences affect current challenges. It aims to repair unmet needs and foster healthy growth.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- 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.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychosocial Therapy Looks at how social and environmental factors affect psychological health. It emphasizes relationships, community, and resilience.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.

I have been practicing for 17yrs and my approach is holistic. I realize that everyone is different and therefore my approach varies accordingly. I am passionate about empowering people with what they need to no longer feel helpless to the symptoms they are experiencing. First, we will work on learning various coping strategies to help you to be able to handle the symptoms your experiencing (what brought you to therapy). Next, if you wish, we will work together to locate and heal the core issue, so that you can then get on with your life. We will use EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to accomplish this. This is a form of psychotherapy that will enable us to work with the brain to heal the past distressing and traumatic experiences, so that you may be able to no longer be dependent on medication to feel emotionally stable. Special interests include animal-assisted therapy and the relationship between the mind-body-spirit and overall health and well-being.
