Empowering the Best You

Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and navigate challenges, helping you step into the most authentic and empowered version of yourself.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s ups and downs with compassion and insight.

Prioritizing You Over the Treatment Plan

I prioritize the person over the treatment plan. While we identify your goals, it’s crucial to remain flexible and responsive to what emerges in our sessions. The strategies that have led to success can sometimes be the same ones that cause challenges. Together, we can identify what’s working and what's not. We can discover new ways to address the parts that no longer foster a sense of balance.

From personal grief and loss to workplace struggles, I will help you overcome the barriers preventing you from living a more empowered life.

Getting therapy should be simple. Whether in-person, virtual, or bespoke care, I ensure our time together is focused on creating tangible improvements in your life.

MY SERVICES

Let’s Work Together

Your situation is unique, so we need to find creative evidence based ways to address your needs

  • INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

    When you begin individual therapy with me, it’s more than just a space to talk—it’s a collaborative journey tailored to your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Drawing from years of working with diverse populations, I create a safe, compassionate environment where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

  • TEEN THERAPY

     Helping teens navigate stress, emotions, and relationships. Using proven approaches like CBT, I empower adolescents to manage anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges. Sessions focus on building mindfulness, communication, and confidence while fostering collaboration with parents to support growth and connection.

  • BESPOKE THERAPY

    Life moves fast, and balancing your mental health with a demanding schedule can feel impossible. I offer discreet, confidential psychotherapy in a convenient location for you within my service area. This is designed for busy individuals, professionals or leaders who need flexible and personalized mental health support without compromising quality care.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Healing

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It’s especially useful if you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, or burnout—or if you’re juggling a lot and feel stuck in unproductive cycles.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    EMDR is a powerful, research-supported therapy designed to help you process and heal from trauma, anxiety, or distressing experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess stuck memories and reduce their emotional charge.

  • Integration

    Integration is the process of turning insights from non-ordinary states of consciousness into meaningful changes in daily life. These states—whether reached through breathwork, meditation, time in nature, spiritual ceremonies, or psychedelic experiences—can shift perception, deepen awareness, and provide emotional or spiritual clarity.

Tools for Managing Anxiety and Regulating Your Nervous System

Sometimes, life’s challenges can overwhelm our nervous system. We may experience hyperarousal—where anxiety and stress take over—or hypoarousal—where we feel disconnected or diminished. In therapy, I provide tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic and mindfulness-based techniques to regulate your nervous system, helping you restore balance and perform at your best.

A Path to Emotional Growth and Lasting Change

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, where we go beyond surface-level solutions to address the deeper patterns that may be holding you back. By exploring past experiences, emotional responses, and ingrained defense mechanisms, we uncover opportunities for lasting growth and transformation. Together, we’ll create space for personal and professional empowerment, helping you navigate life with greater clarity, balance, and authenticity.
