Lead Therapist & Licensed Mental Health Counselor
What problem do you strive to overcome? Many people feel anxious and overwhelmed. They try hard and follow society’s rules, but it doesn’t always help. Maybe you have grief, perfectionism, or trauma that is ready to be healed. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (eye movements) and talk therapy to help teens and adults. Together, we process your life story and discover new ways to live fully. I aim to build a relaxed, nonjudgmental, and warm relationship. This way, you can move forward with confidence and peace.
