About
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you” - Maya Angelou
My ideal client would be motivated, open to change, and they would believe in the therapeutic process.
They would be willing to discuss the past, explore how past traumas/familial relationships impact their current situations and struggles, and work towards creating goals and positive changes for the future.
I specialize in CBT and EMDR. I can help clients identify cognitive distortions or their “inner critic” and help to provide them with the tools necessary to redirect these negative thoughts that often stand in their way.
I can help clients heal from past traumas by utilizing EMDR techniques and meeting the clients where they are at with empathy, compassion, and patience.
