About Me
As a therapist with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I draw from an integrative, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach to help individuals achieve lasting change. My therapeutic style is both directive and solution-oriented, focusing on empowering clients to overcome challenges and develop effective coping strategies. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their issues, gain insight, and work toward personal growth. With a deep understanding of the impact of trauma, my approach is designed to ensure safety and healing, enabling clients to move forward with confidence. Whether you are dealing with emotional distress, unresolved trauma, or patterns of addiction, I am committed to helping you achieve balance and a fulfilling life.
