So glad you are here and would be honored to join you on your journey to well-being! This Therapy attunes to you. Our sessions will offer you space to free your mind by giving it room to breathe, releasing you from your current situation. My goal is to help you clear the fog to reveal clarity, healing, and purpose.

EMDR for Adults and Teens

EMDR stands "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing" and is scientifically backed for success. I offer EMDR for clients with trauma, overwhelming life experiences, anxiety, depression, anxiety, performance anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, grief, and other psychological concerns.

Adults

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens." - Carl Jung

Individual therapy provides you with a safe space to be your authentic self. I believe you are the expert in your life and hold the answers within. I am here to help you heal, process your emotions, and experience meaningful growth, and renewed purpose.

Couples / Relationships

"Love rests on two pillars: surrender and autonomy. Our need for

togetherness exists alongside our need for separateness." - Esther Perel

Relationship therapy is attuned to you and your partner's unique situation and relationship goals. Partners will gain new perspectives of each other while working to meet your hopes and desires.

Adolescents / Pre-teens

"Life is on fire when we hit our teens. And these changes are not

something to avoid or just get through, but to encourage." - Daniel J. Siegel

Teen therapy is tailored to each client's maturity and needs. I foster a collaborative relationship where parent/caregiver engagement is encouraged and the teens's confidentiality is respected.

Family

"In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future." - Alex Haley

Family therapy provides a safe space to explore and understand each member's experiences and feelings, learn new communication skills, and improve family functioning.
