My Approach to Therapy
Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by unresolved trauma, relentless anxiety, creative blocks or the deep pain of grief. You might find yourself stuck in ruminations that keep you from moving forward—whether you're a high achiever or someone supported by your family just launching - mental health issues hold us back from reaching our full potential. Navigating a painful breakup, feeling intense insecurity or struggling with people-pleasing, humans can find themselves in patterns they can’t seem to break. But there’s hope. Together, we can work through these heavy emotions, helping you find relief and renewed purpose.
My Practice & Services
In my work with clients, I draw from powerful therapeutic approaches like EMDR, CBT & IFS-informed therapy to help you gain insight, heal deep wounds, & reshape negative thought patterns. I believe therapy is a space for serious growth, but that doesn’t mean it has to be all serious. Humor & warmth are essential parts of the process as well!
If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I'd love to help. Feel free to submit a request right here on GoodTherapy, or visit my website for more information and to schedule a consultation. Your journey toward peace and transformation begins with just one small step!
Had a Negative Therapy Experience?
You are certainly not alone! There are so many therapists and approaches that sometimes it is hard to find a good fit. Or perhaps you worked with a therapist who did not practice ethically or kept you in treatment longer than necessary. Or maybe you loved your previous therapist but didn't achieve full symptom relief. Restarting therapy after a negative experience is brave. I have helped many people who have come to me after a previously negative or ineffective therapy experience. I am transparent and will clearly communicate my approach and specific ways I can help you. If I cannot help you, I will tell you and point you in the right direction.
