services
I provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. My therapy attunes to you, your experience, culture, developmental life stage, and goals. My integrative therapeutic approach draws from Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment theory, neurobiological, mindfulness, family systems, and couples modalities. By creating an open and supportive environment, I aim to evoke a sense of hope within you – knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Helping you is my passion. After years of working in a grueling business career and then as a stay-at-home mother, I uprooted my life to become a therapist.
