Individual
Do you ever sense that something inside you is asking to be noticed—feelings, memories, or patterns that keep surfacing no matter how hard you try to push them away? You may feel anxious, depressed, emotionally shut down, or constantly on edge, without fully understanding why your body and mind won’t let you relax. It can be exhausting carrying so much beneath the surface.
Individual therapy offers a quiet, supportive space to turn inward and get to know the parts of you that have been holding everything together. Together, we gently explore what lives below conscious awareness—the emotions, experiences, and protective patterns shaped over time—so they no longer have to work so hard to get your attention
couples
Do you and your partner find yourselves having the same conversations over and over, yet still feeling misunderstood or unheard? Maybe small disagreements escalate quickly, or you feel emotionally distant and unsure how to reconnect. You may both want closeness, but not know how to reach each other anymore.
Couples therapy offers a supportive, neutral space to slow things down and learn new ways of communicating that actually help you feel heard and understood. Together, we identify where communication breaks down, explore the emotions underneath the conflict, and build skills that foster empathy, clarity, and emotional intimacy. With guidance from an unbiased third party, couples can move out of painful patterns and begin reconnecting in ways that feel safer, more meaningful, and more aligned.
teens
The teenage years can be challenging—for teens and for parents. As adolescents naturally begin to seek more independence and turn toward their peers, many still carry thoughts and feelings they don’t yet have the words for, or don’t feel safe sharing with friends or family. Even in a busy life, this can leave a teen feeling alone with big emotions.
Therapy offers a calm, supportive space where teens can slow down, feel understood, and explore what they’re experiencing at their own pace. With warmth, care, and respect for each teen’s unique needs, therapy helps them feel safe enough to open up, while also providing thoughtful guidance and support to help promote emotional well-being and safety.
Therapy, Tailored to You
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it shouldn’t be. Everyone is unique, with different experiences, challenges, and goals. That’s why I take an integrative approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic models to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. By blending different techniques, I provide a holistic experience that aligns with your individual needs—because your journey deserves a method as unique as you are.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy designed to help people heal from traumatic experiences and reduce the distress that comes with them. During EMDR, you gently bring up difficult memories while following guided patterns of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This process allows your brain to process and make sense of these experiences in a way that can reduce their emotional intensity.
EMDR is done in carefully guided stages, from building safety and trust, to identifying and processing memories, and finally learning new ways to respond to past experiences. Many people find that EMDR not only eases emotional pain but also helps them feel more grounded, resilient, and able to move forward with their lives.
CRM
The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process trauma and emotional distress by building internal resources and resilience. It emphasizes identifying and accessing positive memories, strengths, and coping strategies to create a sense of safety and empowerment. CRM involves guiding clients to develop these resources before addressing traumatic memories, enabling them to manage overwhelming emotions effectively. This model integrates various techniques, including visualization and somatic awareness, to facilitate healing and promote overall well-being.
IFS
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy approach that helps you get to know the different parts of yourself—the thoughts, emotions, and inner voices that influence how you feel and act. Some parts may carry pain or fear from past experiences, while others try to protect you in ways that once helped you survive.
IFS guides you to connect with your core “Self”—the calm, compassionate part of you that can listen, understand, and care for these inner voices. Through this process, you can begin to heal old wounds, resolve inner conflicts, and bring greater balance, understanding, and peace to your emotional life.
EFT
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a supportive approach to couples therapy that helps partners feel closer, understood, and emotionally connected. It focuses on the emotional bond between partners and explores the patterns that keep you stuck in conflict or distance.
In EFT, you’ll learn to share your feelings and needs in ways that are safe and heard, helping to break cycles of misunderstanding and tension. The process helps couples build trust, deepen intimacy, and create a more secure, loving connection that feels supportive and lasting.

FAQs
-
It’s normal to question your need for therapy. Some people seek therapy after a particularly distressing period or experience in their life. Just like not everyone goes to the doctors for every ache or pain they experience; they should be going if that ache or pain won’t go away or repeatedly shows up.
Not everyone goes to therapy because they need it. Instead, they go to gain a better understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to gain insight into how their experiences have shaped them into the people they are today.
Whether you have experiences something distressing, have identified specific targets or goals you’d like to work on, or would just like to know what to expect from therapy; I encourage you to reach out for a short consultation call to see how I can help.

Everyone’s journeys are different so it’s difficult to say how long therapy will last for any given person. The length of time is dependent on client’s goals. This would be discussed during the initial sessions and throughout our work together to ensure we are working towards and meeting your goals.

Each session is 50-minutes but can be extended when needed or at client’s request.

Description I have actively engaged in ongoing trainings in various treatment modalities to enhance my therapeutic skills and knowledge. Currently, I attend monthly consultation sessions focused on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of my journey towards certification.
In addition to this, I participate in weekly supervision sessions for Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM). This regular supervision is essential for my professional growth, as it allows me to explore complex cases, receive guidance, and ensure that I am applying CRM effectively in my practice.
I have successfully completed both the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) externship and advanced core skills training, which have significantly enriched my understanding and application of EFT and regularly consult with certified EFT therapists. This ongoing professional development in these models is vital for ensuring that I remain current with best practices and continue to deliver the highest quality of care to those I serve.text goes here

DescriptionIn my practice, I primarily integrate several therapeutic modalities: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems). Each of these approaches offers unique benefits that allow for a comprehensive exploration of my clients' current functioning, internal experiences, and the emotions that contribute to challenges such as stress, depression, and anxiety.
By employing IFS and EFT, I facilitate a deeper understanding of the root causes of distress, helping clients uncover the underlying issues that affect their day-to-day lives. Once we identify these core concerns, I utilize CRM and EMDR to promote healing at that foundational level. I typically begin our work with CRM, which introduces clients to effective processing techniques in a gentle and supportive manner. After a few sessions with CRM, I transition to EMDR reprocessing, providing clients with the opportunity to experience both models.
This flexibility allows clients to determine which approach resonates with them more. Some may find greater comfort in CRM, while others might prefer the EMDR technique. Many appreciate the option to switch between models depending on their specific needs during our sessions. This adaptability is one of the strengths of my practice: I have a diverse set of tools at my disposal, and together, we can find the approach that feels right for each individual. My goal is to create a collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to choose the path that best supports their healing journey. text goes here

Yes, therapy is confidential. Therapists are legally and ethically required to to maintain client confidentiality, except in few situations.
As mandated reporters, there are some of the exceptions where confidentiality may be broken, such as if you present as a danger to yourself or others, or if there are signs of physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse against an identifiable child or elder/dependent adult.
This will be discussed in my informed consent and will be reviewed in your first session.
