People begin psychotherapy because they are in emotional pain, they feel confused, lost, out of control even.

In my work, I use scientifically based approaches like EMDR for trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Theories. I am compassionate and straightforward and I believe therapy should be a collaborative relationship between
