Offering a warm, collaborative, down-to-earth approach
I believe that each of us is worthy of giving and receiving love and acceptance. We are neither perfect, nor imperfect. We are evolving. My goal in working together is grounded in the very human need of connecting with one another. I do this by working as a team to identify challenges and develop goals that can help foster healing and authenticity.
By taking a holistic approach to mental health, we can utilize available resources and practical solutions while developing tools to increase emotional vocabulary, communication and self-acceptance. The human experience does not fit in a box. It is not sterile. Each of us is unique, therefore, the path to healing may look different for each person.
I work with adults and adolescents using an integrative approach, incorporating elements from varying therapeutic techniques in order to tailor individual treatment. While I use a range of therapeutic approaches, EMDR is at the core of my practice and often serves as a foundation for our work together. I specialize in trauma, life transitions, identity and purpose realization and existential considerations (creating meaning and purpose through choices and actions). It is my hope to foster a safe and welcoming space for you to feel encouraged to participate with me here to accompany you.
