Areas of Focus

Specialized care for what you're carrying

Anxiety

Whether it shows up as constant worry, panic, or an inability to quiet your mind, therapy can help you understand the root of your anxiety and develop tools to find calm and clarity again.

Trauma

Trauma can reshape how you see yourself and the world. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, we work at your pace to process painful experiences and reclaim your sense of safety and self.

Grief

Grief is not a problem to be solved — it is love with nowhere to go. Therapy provides a space to honor your loss, understand your emotions, and gently find a way to carry it forward.

How we'll work together

In our first session, we'll build a trusting relationship and explore your background to understand the challenges you're facing. We'll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.

During treatment, you can expect to gain practical skills to manage emotions, process trauma, and build resilience — leading to greater emotional clarity, reduced distress, and a more peaceful life.

I use a combination of evidence-based approaches tailored to what works best for you:

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Compassion Focused Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Motivational Interviewing Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

ACT

Guides you in accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what truly matters to you.

ART

Helps reduce the emotional intensity of past trauma, allowing you to heal faster. A specialty I'm passionate about.

CBT

Works with you to break the negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety and distress.

Your Pace

Healing is a journey. I show up fully present, and we move at whatever pace feels right for you.
