My Approach to Helping
TELEHEALTH ONLY AT THIS TIME.
My practice is dedicated to the psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being of my clients. Treatment is tailored to the needs of the client. Culture, religiousspiritual beliefs, and family structure are taken into consideration. Evidence- based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) (please note that I am not a DBT Therapist), Mindfulness- Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Unified Protocol, and Expressive Arts Therapy, are utilized to help instigate change and transformation. Traditional talk therapy and Jungian therapy is applied as well.
I am also in the process of completing EMDR certification through the EMDRIA. Level 1 IFS training will also be done starting Fall 2024 through the IFS Institute.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
Obstacles and difficulties often occur in life. Seeking guidance from a licensed professional can be a wonderful way of gaining coping skills and a different perspective. Feeling anxious and apprehensive when meeting with a therapist for the first time is understandable. However, once the process begins, that worry usually washes away. My goal is to use empathy, humor, and clinical skills to help you obtain insight, clarity, and courage becoming your most authentic self.
