my mission
Create space that allows individuals to heal by reconnecting to their resilience and innate strengths
My approach
I work collaboratively with individuals and families to identify current needs and create treatment goals. I conceptualize issues from a systemic approach, which means that I view issues within the context of an individual’s natural support system (i.e. family, friends, community, work-place). I work with individuals and families to identify values and beliefs that no longer serve them and contribute to feelings of anxiety, shame, helplessness, unworthiness, and hopelessness. In deconstructing these values and beliefs, I support individuals towards a more authentic, connected, and balanced sense of self. I utilize evidence based approaches to help individuals reach their goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
