The Qualities to Look for in a Therapist

About

Evidence-Based, Personalized Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families

My approach to therapy focuses on healing, connection, collaboration, and emotional insight to allow individuals, couples, and families to reach their goals and improve their lives.

With kids and teenagers, I use art therapy along with play therapy and CBT to make sessions fun while still being productive.

When working with couples and families, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) to strengthen connection and empathy.

When working with mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I use somatic therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) along with different talk-therapy modalities to provide the most effective treatment for my clients.

Clinical Strengths

Every therapeutic relationship is built on structure, clarity, and active collaboration. My work focuses on identifying root causes rather than simply managing surface-level symptoms.
Clients receive direct feedback, practical tools, and a clear path forward so therapy produces meaningful progress from the very first sessions.

WHAT I DO

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey, and I'm honored to be part of yours.

I meet every client — individual, couple, or family — with genuine warmth and a personalized approach, blending EMDR, EFT, somatic therapy, CBT, and more to help you heal, connect, and grow.
