Therapy is a space meant to be collaborative. Throughout your commitment to the therapeutic process, I'll invite you to take on the role of “co-expert." My focus is meeting you however, you are showing up and making sure you feel empowered and informed with your experiences. By living meaningfully in the present you can learn to break free from past experiences, trauma, and concerns for the future. Living with intention encourages you to act with purpose and passion for your benefit and the benefit of society.
My work with clients is rooted in Polyvagal Theory, a framework for understanding the evolution of the nervous system and its implications for behavior and health. Humanistic approaches allow providers to view their clients holistically to meet their unique needs better. I have a background in exposure therapy, somatic experiencing, and play therapy.
I also utilize more structured interventions like cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. I look forward to meeting and accepting you unconditionally wherever you are. Please do not hesitate to reach out for a consultation or if you need additional resources I am happy to help.

I work with individuals who may be facing challenges related to past trauma, current life transitions, and relational conflicts. During our sessions, we will learn about the physiological impact of those encounters. We will also identify how your past experiences contribute to the way you presently interpret your environment. The treatment plan is client-focused and collaborative.
