About Me

I enjoy my work as a therapist. The cornerstone of my success is my ability to provide a safe environment, listen intently, and genuinely engage with the individuals and families that I meet. Perhaps you are on the precipice of change, and you just can't take the first step. Maybe you are taking inventory of your life, and you need guidance on how to sum up your past and learn how to make new decisions in this moment with your eyes wide open. Together, we can sort out the transition and help you move toward positive transformation. Are you struggling with your relationships, or your mood? Feeling apprehension about the future, or trying to work through something from your past? I possess the skills to support you in shifting your current situation so that you can live better and love your life again. Going beyond talk therapy, I take a more interactive approach. Curative tools such as EMDR and Hypnotherapy can empower you to move efficiently toward your goals. I am convinced that life can get better, self-esteem can improve, relationships can thrive, and we can understand and accept ourselves. My pronouns are She/Her.
