Therapist Overview
Feeling stuck, like you are not living your best life? I specialize in working with teens, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with emotional pain due to past traumatic experiences. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to developing feelings of trust and a feeling of safety and genuine caring. Together, we will develop a plan to help you reach your goals and to recognize your strengths and resources. We will build your capacity to regulate your emotions and create a pathway of safety and connectedness to the world. I educate about the neuroscience behind your wellbeing and use mindfulness, CBT, MI and SFBT to explore and ultimately modify beliefs, behaviors, reactions and patterns that are barriers to greater wellness. I use trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR and elements of TF-CBT to help process the painful events that have impacted your life. I bring to my practice many lived experiences that allow me to truly “walk in your shoes” and see the world t
