I also offer support to those going through a divorce, especially high-conflict divorces. I understand the emotional toll this process can take and am here to help you navigate these challenging times with empathy and practical solutions.
My approach to therapy is professional yet friendly. I believe in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where you feel comfortable and supported. I treat every client with kindness and respect, ensuring that you feel heard and valued. Whether you’re dealing with personal struggles or family issues, I am here to help you find a path to healing and growth.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to meeting you and working together to create positive changes in your life. Let’s take this journey together, one step at a time.
Evidenced based treatments are simply treatments that have been researched and put through rigorous studies and when implemented according to the protocol by the clinician, have proven effectiveness in treating a particular mental health or substance abuse concern. As a psychotherapist, we can then be trained in these methods and we, along with our clients, can have the security in knowing the treatment has proven success in alleviating symptoms associated with the particular mental health and/or substance abuse condition. Examples of EBT that I provide include DBT therapy(Dialectical Behavior Therapy,) Matrix, EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy), Seeking Safety and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.)

The No Surprises Act* introduced new requirements for providers, facilities, and providers
of air ambulance services to protect individuals from surprise medical bills. These
requirements:
• Require providers and facilities to provide good faith estimates of charges for care to uninsured
(or self-pay) individuals upon scheduling care or on request, and for individuals with certain types
of coverage, to submit good faith estimates to the individual’s plan or issuer.
