- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing

- Supporting you in moving toward your goals—at your own pace

My Philosophy
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—because you are not broken. It’s about understanding, acceptance, and finding new ways to cope, connect, and thrive. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are, providing a space where they can safely unpack what they’ve been carrying and learn to navigate life with more ease and self-compassion.
