About Me: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience treating trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach focuses on meeting clients where they are and creating a safe space where they can share their feelings and experiences. I also help clients build coping skills to make daily life and relationships more manageable.

Personal Philosophy: I am passionate about helping people heal from difficult experiences and build lives filled with connection, meaning, and purpose. I feel honored to support clients as they explore their feelings, build self-confidence, and develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges and relationships.

Specialties and Areas of Focus: 

• EMDR: Helps clients process difficult experiences so they feel less stuck in the past and more confident handling everyday challenges.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helps clients manage anxiety and depression while focusing on their values and building a meaningful life.

• Imaginal Nurturing: A guided imagery process that helps clients address unmet childhood needs for love, safety, and care while developing a more supportive relationship with themselves.

• Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: Helps clients understand their feelings and needs, heal from difficult family experiences, and build healthy boundaries in relationships.

Therapeutic Approach: My approach combines EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Imaginal Nurturing. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Experience and Education:

What to Expect in Therapy: Clients can expect a supportive and nurturing space to build self-compassion and improve coping skills. I help clients heal from trauma, discover what brings meaning to their lives, and work toward a more fulfilling future.
