I offer services on a variety of topics such as depression, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief & loss, life transitions, adjustment difficulties, disordered eating, self esteem related issues, behavioral issues and other obstacles. My approach to counseling is person centered, strength-based, trauma focused and also utilizing a variety of approaches from CBT and mindfulness based approach.
I work with individuals, families, children, parents, and couples. My approach to therapy consists of using a neuroscientific bottom-up approach with theories rooted in attachment, psychodynamic, mindfulness, humanist, somatic experiencing, and cognitive behavior rooted in a holistic way to rewire your brain to regulation and connection. Because relationships are at the core of who we are, I also believe in supporting parents to find strategies in helping their children, whether neurodivergent or neurotypical, thrive in their environment. I am here to work through a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, relationships, and stress.
