As a therapist, my passion is helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most complex emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I believe every person deserves a safe, supportive, and culturally-humble space where they can be heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My work is grounded in compassion, honesty, and a deep respect for the lived experiences of my clients. My ideal client may feel alone with their thoughts, frustrated with their progress, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together.I offer a supportive, goal-focused space to help you reduce distress and create real change. Using CBT, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor treatment to your unique needs. My approach helps you process trauma, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build practical skills for healthier daily living.

Trauma-focused therapy helps by gently addressing the impact of painful or overwhelming experiences in a safe, structured way. Rather than just talking about what happened, it also focuses on how trauma may still be affecting emotions, thoughts, relationships, and daily life. The work often includes building coping skills, understanding triggers, processing difficult memories at a manageable pace, and reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events. Over time, trauma-focused therapy can help clients feel safer in their bodies, more in control of their reactions, and less stuck in patterns of fear, shame, anxiety, or avoidance. It can be especially helpful for people dealing with PTSD, childhood trauma, grief, abuse, or other experiences that continue to affect their well-being.

Person-centered therapy works by creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and respected. The therapist does not force solutions or take control of the process, but instead supports the client in exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. This approach is based on the belief that people already have the inner capacity for growth and healing when they are met with empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard. Person-centered therapy can help clients build self-awareness, strengthen confidence, improve emotional clarity, and feel more empowered in their choices. It is especially helpful for those who feel misunderstood, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of how to move forward.
