Life has a way of throwing challenges at you when you least expect it. It can be hard to know how to understand and cope with those life challenges. But fear not, because you don’t have to face them alone.

Whether past trauma or current feelings of anxiety/depression brought you here, assessing your emotional needs and creating boundaries to promote emotional wellness is difficult. Often, it’s even more arduous to maintain that wellness. I center my practice around helping you understand personal accountability in a safe, empathetic, welcoming space. Using your strengths, emotional resilience, and willingness to heal, I will guide you through processing trauma and emotional challenges to make changes that permanently stick. You deserve peace in your own life and relationships; I am ready to make that leap with you.

It's wonderful you are taking the time to poke around and find a therapist that will be a fit for you. Honestly this may be one of the most important pieces in the whole process of therapy - that you and the therapist 'click' and are able to co-create a trusting, collaborative relationship. My hope is that our work together brings more groundedness and balance into your life. And this journey looks different for each of us. It’s an active process, discovering unhelpful patterns of physical sensation-emotion-thought reactivity and then co-creating mindful, body-based practices that draw on your inner strengths and facilitate healing

Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed to nourish us, and growing through hardships that leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I work to help people (especially LGBTQ people, BBIPOC, and Neurodivergent people) understand how psychotherapy (e.g. acceptance, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, stress-reduction, trauma work, value-driven action) can be applied to overcome and liberate. I also specialize in managing Bipolar Disorder, OCD/OCD-spectrum disorders, PTSD, & Social Anxiety. By enhancing your strengths, reworking coping mechanisms, and reframing beliefs about yourself, you can find peace and joy.

I have spent a lifetime researching and training in the best sensitive ways to help people of all ages to heal from traumatic experiences. My own journey led me to the most responsive and humane strategies to help children learn to trust once again that adult caregivers could be safe and on their side. While I have recently retired from direct care I love helping other professionals learn how to use EMDR, IFS, Attachment Focused therapies as well as trauma treatment in general to be the most healing presence they can be for their clients.

Your experience is worthy of exploration and I believe that we all benefit from a protected space to journey through our history, needs, thoughts, and wishes around who we've been and who we want to be. I'm also familiar with the many ways that we can feel prohibited from giving ourselves such a space.
