Hi there! Thank you for reaching out and prioritizing your well-being—you deserve it. I feel honored to walk alongside clients in their growth. I enjoy working with parents and young adults and tailor my approach to each individual’s needs. I strive to create a warm, approachable space while also offering honest feedback to support meaningful change. I’m close to Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) certification, have extensive training in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing.
