I am so glad you are here. The decision to start therapy isn't always an easy one, and you’ve already accomplished one of the hardest parts: starting the process. I want you to know that you are not alone! I specialize in shame reduction, trauma work, and living a wholehearted and authentic life. I appreciate the positive impact of creating trust and a strong rapport with my clients combined with a cognitive approach to assist you with building a connection between thoughts and feelings in order for you to evolve into the best version of yourself. View 3 Photos My approach is rooted in CBT, as well as utilizing DBT, ACT and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. My specific areas of focus include: anxiety, codependency, depression, communication skills, anger management, domestic violence, low self-esteem, life transitions, boundary setting, emotion regulation and traumatic experience management. As your therapist, I pride myself on creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment utilizing empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard to support you in exploring your values to reach your desired goals. I love helping people find freedom from the traps set by anxiety, low mood or self-doubt.
