Something to know about my approach is:

It’s integrative, meaning I pull from all of the treatment modalities I’ve been trained in rather than using just one. I find this to be highly successful, as no two clients are the same. What works for one, may not work for another.

FOCUS AREAS:
  • Anxiety in Relationships
  • Breakups
  • Childhood Trauma
  • High-Functioning Depression
  • Self-Compassion
