 I am committed to cultivating an atmosphere of inclusivity and mutual respect, where growth, creative solutions, learning, and healing can flourish within the context of individual therapy. With advanced training in supporting individuals facing anxiety-related challenges—including intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, nightmares, and phobias—I offer a compassionate, tailored approach to help you navigate these experiences. I invite you to reach out to explore whether we might be a good fit for your healing journey. 

Prior to our first session, I kindly ask all clients to complete the necessary forms via an online portal. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and symptoms you wish to address, while also providing you with detailed information about what to expect from our work together. During our initial session, I will ask a series of questions to better understand your unique story and the reasons you are seeking counseling. You may have questions about the therapeutic process—please know that I encourage you to ask any questions, and I will ensure you receive thoughtful, informative answers. Please set aside one hour for this session. 

This highly researched therapeutic modality is designed to help individuals recover from stress-related challenges, whether stemming from a single traumatic event or chronic, ongoing experiences encountered in childhood or adulthood. It works to reduce the intensity and emotional distress tied to traumatic memories, facilitating a shift in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and allowing the brain to return to its natural healing process. Some clients may opt for a brief treatment focused on a specific event, such as a car accident, while others may choose a longer course of treatment to address deep-rooted, long-standing issues related to negative self-beliefs.
