Hi there! I'm so glad you are here. If you are a teen or young adult struggling with self-esteem, overwhelming emotions, difficult relationships and family dynamics, or experiencing heightened anxiety and depression, then I might be the right therapist for you. Instead of scraping the surface to offer a quick fix, I utilize a trauma-informed lens so we can discover the root of your symptoms. Together we will work side by side to explore how your past experiences influence your present-day behaviors and thoughts, as well as work on finding ways to break old patterns and heal past traumatic experiences.
While I use a lot of different trauma-informed treatments, the backbone of my approach is IFS-informed, also known as “parts work” (shout out to all the "Inside Out" fans). I also specialize in Brainspotting (Level II), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, and Animal-Assisted Therapy.
I've learned true healing happens in safe, supportive environments built on real connections, authenticity, honesty, and laughter. If you think we are a good fit, then I would love the opportunity to build that connection with you. I invite you to visit my website to learn more and schedule your free consultation so we can start that journey today!
