In today's world many of us find ourselves struggling with emotional overload. As life becomes inundated by negative experiences through media representation and personal experience. We may notice a loss of motivation or even possibly a loss of positive experiences. Eventually we may loose hope in who we are and who we wish to become. When overloaded by strong emotions, hopelessness begins to creep in. Hopelessness can feel unbearable as it restricts functioning and ability to enjoy life. Our happiness and excitement can quickly become extinguished by the anger, fear, sorrow, and intense sadness we feel. I have found myself caught.
In hopelessness at times. I often think how was I able to find my way out of the darkness while others never do. I realize it came down to finding inspiration in others, who were holding my hope until I took it back for myself. This is my story, yours can result in hope too! Your journey may begin with hopelessness, but that doesn't define your life story.
Everything I do is driven from my goal to instill hope. I will always hold hope for you as we work together even in the times when it is difficult for you to find that confidence in yourself. It doesn't matter your story, you are always worthy of hope, compassion , and empathy. I am here holding hope for you regardless of things you said or did.

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.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) An evidence-based treatment for PTSD that teaches clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts about trauma. It helps reduce guilt, shame, and fear.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
Approach Description: I will sit down with you to discuss your goals for therapy. We will then make a treatment plan based off your desired goals. My goal is to empower you through trauma focused interventions like CPT, CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, SFBT and ACT. I adapt each intervention to your needs and direct therapy towards achieving your desired goals.
