Introduction

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, trauma, life adjustments, grief and loss, and self-esteem. I believe that better relationships lead to better therapeutic outcomes, so I prioritize building the therapeutic relationship necessary for healing and change to occur and creating a safe place for you to be your true self. I will collaborate with you to identify goals, create a plan, and identify and access your innate strengths to heal and grow. With training rooted in systems theory, I will help you explore how your relationship may be helping or hurting your mental health and will work with you to recognize and repair harmful patterns to help you build stronger, healthier relationships. I will not make changes for you, but I will walk beside you to support you in stepping out of your comfort zone to embark on the journey towards healing. I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and who have experienced trauma. I am trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), which is an evidence-based approach that aims to reduce or eliminate physical and emotional reactions associated with distressing memories or images and changes the way images are stored in the brain. Images are tied to emotions and bodily sensations, which cause symptoms. If we can change the images, we eliminate the symptoms.
