My experience spans over 25 years working in mental health and providing psychotherapy services. I specialize in treating PTSD and trauma, working with individuals, couples, and families in a compassionate and supportive environment. Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I focus on eliminating symptoms associated with stress and trauma, as well as addressing panic attacks, phobias, depression, and anger.

I am very flexible and understanding of people’s life schedules and am always willing to provide sessions that accommodate my clients’ busy schedules.
My treatment approach is diverse and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I utilize a variety of therapeutic models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. These approaches are particularly effective in treating trauma and PTSD-related mental health issues. For instance, EMDR is instrumental in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact, while CBT helps clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, I incorporate Family Systems and Interpersonal therapies to address relational dynamics and enhance communication within families and couples. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Multicultural approaches ensure that treatment is holistic and culturally sensitive. Narrative and Solution-Focused Brief Therapies (SFBT) empower clients to rewrite their personal stories and focus on solutions rather than problems. Strength-Based and Trauma-Focused therapies emphasize clients’ resilience and strengths, fostering a sense of empowerment and healing
