ABOUT ME:
Your decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength, courage, and respect for your personal and relationship well-being. I welcome people facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use challenges, LBGTQ+ identities, relationship issues, and the general "stuck" feeling. I also teach sex education classes in partnership with local non profits so please feel free to ask me any questions.
Identifying a therapist with whom you are comfortable is a critical step toward facilitating the changes that you desire. I'm trained in EMDR Therapy - a powerful psychotherapy technique for treatment of anxiety, panic, depression, and post-traumatic stress. I work with individuals and couples from teens to adulthood to create a strong therapeutic relationship in order to best understand the skills and strategies that will help you to achieve your goals and improve your life.
My therapeutic style is caring, encouraging and individualized in order to help each person learn skills to work with their emotions, see situations without judgment and recognize solutions that fit personal values. I also have a strong emphasis on diversity and social justice and incorporate it into my practice.
