I firmly believe that we all possess the strength needed to overcome adversity and heal from the profound impact of trauma. The effects of complex trauma can cause us to feel emotionally unsafe, socially disconnected, and internally robbed of the ability to trust ourselves. This leaves many caught in a cycle of self-doubt and self-criticism, diminishing our capacity to cope with life’s challenges. My mission is to provide invaluable support to those seeking to understand and heal from past experiences, enabling them to enhance their self-image and overcome the emotional hurdles that trauma can create.

Finding your way to therapy can be a challenge. Even getting this far shows self-awareness, courage, motivation, and the ability (as slight as it may be) to consider that things could be different. Together we can discover your goals for therapy and how I can help you achieve them. I work from a client centered model and highly value trust within the therapeutic relationship. I would describe my therapeutic style as nonjudgmental, empathetic, and direct. I often find that humor and levity can also bring surprising depth to sessions. I work with children, teens, and adults. Currently, I have openings for teens and adults.
