About
Rather than just “band-aiding†a problem, I seek to find the sources of the issues at hand. I believe in getting to the heart of the matter through active listening and trust building in a safe and confidential environment.
Discovering patterns in relationships and understanding the past can be catalysts to healing and desired lasting change for the future. I offer my clients tools and coping skills to help them live their best lives and move forward, while respecting each client’s individual timeline and process.
I use traditional talk therapy, but also include other complementary techniques when I feel my clients would benefit from them. These include relaxation, mindfulness, narrative therapy, art expression, play therapy, and will soon include sand tray and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I help clients to develop self-identity with a focus on support and healing from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, women of partners experiencing sexual integrity issues, and trauma. My strengths include effective communication, a desire to gain deeper understanding, empathy, flexibility of therapeutic focus based on the client’s need, and a true passion for helping clients to experience a better way to live.
