I personalize my integrative approach, using Attachment-Focused EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Interpersonal Process as my primary approaches. I respect and incorporate many intersections of clients' identities and strengths.
Together we will work on empowering you, helping you feel inconceivably brave, unloading some of the pain you might have been carrying, helping you gain inner peace, & allowing yourself to be seen. Together we will unpack your life story.

Identify and understand what brought you to where you are and how it is affecting whatever issue you are having now. Then we strategize ways for you to better cope with your present. If we can untangle the past, it illuminates the present.
