Think better, feel better, live better.

Therapy to transform your life.

Everyone has a story.

A story filled with hope and fear. Love and pain. Joy and sadness. You might need support sometimes to share your story and to feel heard and understood. We can help you through life’s ups and downs and twist and turns. A new perspective to strengthen your personal and professional relationships, think more clearly, manage your emotions and build inner strength and resiliency.

Welcome to Lightworks!

We all have times of happiness and peace. But we also have life challenges that can lead to generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, complex trauma, relationship issues, career issues, overthinking and thought rumination.

Through a holistic and individualized approach, we combine Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed treatments, Diabolic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Medicine Work to empower you in this journey that we call life.

You should be living your best life.

I believe that connection is important, so you feel seen, heard and understood. My approach is authentic, empathetic, respectful and creative. I also believe it is important to respect and work within the framework of your personal value system, culture and spirituality. In our practice, we use evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed and integration for Medicine Work .
