Individual Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and EMDR (Youth and Adults):

Many people wonder when it’s time to seek the help of a mental health therapist. The right moment is when the difficulties you’re facing cause significant distress—whether to yourself, those around you, or when they start to affect one or multiple areas of your life. It’s also when you feel disconnected from parts of yourself or struggle with self-acceptance. Therapy provides the support to help you navigate these challenges, fostering healing and growth.

​Couples and Family Therapy:
​
Many people believe that communication and parenting skills are innate, assuming we are born with these abilities. In reality, both communication and parenting are learned skills, shaped by many factors, particularly by our first teachers—our caregivers—and later by others in our lives. Here are two points to consider: first, while you may believe that happiness comes from the absence of problems, it’s actually more about how we respond and react to them. Second, if your approach to managing difficulties is leading to the same outcome over and over—despite thinking it’s the right approach, but realizing it’s not serving you or your relationship—then it may not be the right approach. These behaviors can be reframed and reshaped. I am trained in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1) and incorporate other therapeutic modalities to help couples and families navigate their unique challenges and foster healthier connections.​

Group Therapy:

"Shareable is bearable." Group therapy has been proven to be an effective way to enhance and improve mental health. It fosters a sense of common humanity, helping individuals realize that their experiences and emotions are part of the larger human experience. This group will provide both psychoeducational and emotionally-focused therapy to support personal growth and healing.
