Compassionate
and Empowering
My goal is to meet each of my clients where they are. I am present-focused, using the past to inform the present. I find that unresolved experiences and emotions flourish; creating emotional pain, difficulty in communication and ultimately have an extended negative impact on our most important relationships.
I draw from a wide variety of orientations, methods and treatment techniques including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Buddhist Psychology and Gestalt. I have Level 2 trained Gottman Couples Counselor and am trained in EMDR. I feel the best way to meet each client’s individual goals and needs is to blend these techniques and create a tailor-made treatment plan that is unique to each client and can be flexible and dynamic.
