Therapies utilized: CBT, CPT, DBT, Mindfulness, EFT, EMDR, Narrative, IFS, Strength-Based, ACT, Gottman Therapy and Couples Relational Life Therapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing you should know about me is that I believe you are entitled to live your best life as your authentic self. Therapy is a powerful step in that direction and a meaningful emotional investment in that journey. I am passionate and committed to helping you get the most from that investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your relationships are not bringing you joy, if you struggle to recognize your own value, or if you feel stuck, therapy can be your solution. I understand taking that first step can feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a space that is safe, supportive, and grounded in respect. In sessions with me, you will experience a collaborative environment, where I will meet you where you are and focus on the areas that are most important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using multiple evidence-based therapies, I help you discover and leverage the strengths and resilience that already exist within you\u2014whether that means managing anger, rebuilding self- esteem, healing past wounds, breaking unhealthy behavior patterns, setting healthy boundaries, or working with those you love to build more fulfilling relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My practice includes working with couples, individuals (ages 13 and above), and families. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma, PTSD, psychosis, as well as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. When focusing on couples I utilize my specialized training in both Relational Life and Gottman Method Therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The growth experienced through your therapeutic journey can be profound \u2013 resulting in greater inner peace, stronger self-esteem, healthier and more meaningful relationships, and a renewed sense of agency that can propel you toward the life you truly want. I am here and committed to guiding you with respect, along that path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":373,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"wt-staff__therapist__email":"insurance@wave-therapist.org","wt-staff__therapist__licenses":"AMFT
