Are you a woman navigating stress and major life transitions or a college student searching for support? I work with young adults and women experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I offer a therapy called Brainspotting, which is known for deeper processing and healing. If you’re on a journey to reduce anxiety and depression, as your therapist, I aim to nurture an environment where you feel heard, validated, and free to express your true self. To offer you the best support, I utilize holistic therapeutic modalities including Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Talk Therapy. Recognizing that each person’s journey is as unique as they are, I customize my approach to align with your specific needs and circumstances. I believe therapy should be a collaborative journey. Together, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Together, we’ll focus on self-compassion, acceptance, and the practical steps needed to attain your goals, all while improving your overall quality of life. Reach out to get matched with me.
