Individual Counseling

Individual Counseling

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Building a trusting relationship is at the heart of my work, creating a space where you can explore difficult experiences without judgment while feeling safe enough to grow.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, to help you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

Healing doesn't mean eliminating every challenge from your life. It means feeling more confident in your ability to navigate them, strengthening your resilience, and creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.

Therapy for Children and Teens

Therapy for Families

Supporting a loved one through a chronic illness, disability, mental health condition, or other life-changing challenge can be emotionally overwhelming. Family members often find themselves balancing caregiving responsibilities, advocating within complex systems, and managing their own stress while trying to remain strong for those they love.

My background in medical social work has given me a deep understanding of the challenges families face during times of uncertainty and change. Working alongside individuals and families navigating complex medical conditions taught me that emotional well-being extends beyond the person receiving care—it affects the entire family system.

In therapy, I provide a supportive space for parents, caregivers, and family members to process difficult emotions, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and build resilience. Together, we'll focus on helping you navigate life's challenges while caring for both your loved ones and yourself.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Awareness plays a big role in how we process the ideas, emotions, and encounters we face daily. Have you ever questioned your awareness of pain, or confronted your supposed shortcomings and fears to find if they truly exist?……

MBSR walks you through an exploration and understanding of self, your deepest feelings, fears and desires through mindful awareness. As you turn your focus toward living in the present, you participate in life more fully as it happens, experiencing each joy and pain, and everything around you. Through MBSR, you will value the mystery and magic of the miracle of being alive. It is easy to ignore what’s happening around us as we hope for “better" moments in the future. As you prepare to witness what really happens in your life at the present moment, you’ll gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of your sense of self.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach guided by the adaptive information processing (AIP) model, that explains how trauma is stored……

in the brain's neural network. Trauma can be encoded deep within our body and mind and previously unprocessed trauma and memories can manifest as dysfunctional traits, behaviors and beliefs that result in anxiety, stress, and negative self-talk that prevent you from fully enjoying life. The eye movements used in EMDR help unlock the system and allow the brain to process the unconscious material. Through EMDR you can tackle unprocessed traumatic past and negative beliefs by opening new channels and accelerating new experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

As the most commonly used therapy today, CBT helps to change your thought processing. This therapy uses a specific formula to challenge your thoughts and create different outcomes in your behaviors and feelings.

Narrative Therapy

This psychotherapy approach uses storytelling to separate the patient from their problems. The stories can help to shape identity, and allow you to redefine and reclaim your story, using your own skills.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

As a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT combines mindfulness with the formulas of CBT to help create different outcomes in your behaviors and feelings. It’s best for substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and mood disorders.

Virtual Therapy

In times of hardship when meeting in person may not be an option, virtual therapy can be a great alternative. Held over secure HIPPA compliant platform, we’ll follow the same format as in-office visits. I provide a complimentary 15 minute virtual consultation to help you decide if therapy is a good fit for you.
