I approach my work with others with warmth, acceptance and compassion. It is my belief that every person has the ability to heal from whatever stressful life events one has experienced and/or challenge one is currently facing. My treatment methods are diverse and creative, individualized to meet a person’s unique qualities, developmental age/stage and therapeutic needs. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is effective in treating trauma and other mental health challenges. I regularly incorporate mindfulness, self-compassion, positive psychology and somatic awareness into therapy sessions. Other treatment modalities: expressive arts, relational therapy & CBT. The moment you walk into my office, we begin our journey together. I will be an active partner on your path to healing. With acceptance and non-judgment, I will hold space for you to feel comfortable to share your truth. I will encourage and support you to be open, honest and vulnerable with your feelings as this is the path to freedom and healing.
