I know what it is like to struggle with issues like depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. I have learned in my own journey that it is possible to get better. All along the way is progress and small steps towards the life you want to live. My approach is to move beyond simply talking through issues and help you get to the roots where the healing can be done. I incorporate a number of tools and skills that are customized for your needs. I will help you figure out what is causing you to struggle and we will to work together to navigate through it.
I promise to listen, to be fair and open-minded, to not judge, and to be kind and compassionate. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for more information.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and have worked with many people with a trauma history, or those who have suffered from a recent tragedy. I also have a lot of experience working with people with issues such as Anxiety, Social Anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem issues and more. By understanding the impact of trauma, we can understand why we are the way we are and what to do to help ourselves. I am fully certified in EMDR which has helped so many with not only trauma, but many other issues as well. Some of the approaches I am trained in are ACT, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness. Also, I teach a lot of self-compassion, because most of us need it! Special populations I work with are LGBTQIA+, working professionals, and people on a spiritual path.
