Most of my experience is working with women with severe PTSD and self-harm behaviors. Whatever you perceive as your ugly, it is safe with me and you are no longer alone. In addition to PTSD, I have worked with individuals with adjustment concerns, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and a range of diagnoses.

As a therapist, I aim to provide a space where my clients feel safe and comfortable opening up. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the therapist and client relationship and I aim to be a safe container. There can be many reasons as to why you are seeking therapy and I am here along your journey. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed, and a Holistic approach when treating clients. I will help you become more aware, understand yourself better, and assist in helping you change your thought process. I hope that therapy can be a place for self-exploration, self-connection, and self-actualization.

I won’t just sit and listen. I understand the terrain of the mind and how to help it change. As your guide, we will create a plan unique to your needs.

My style in therapy is active. Learning skills to navigate the challenges life brings our way is a massive relief. Setting specific goals related to concerns heard and steadily aligning with the patient is the priority at the beginning. In the middle of treatment, continued focus on solutions for goals and measuring what is working becomes a focus. Seeing people meet their goals and grow toward a realistic outcome in therapy and life is an incredible experience.
