People come to me with the need for a non-judgmental space to explore their own lived experiences and express their thoughts and feelings. I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma and employ a client-centered, strengths-based approach. I help clients develop insight around factors influencing development, understand the mind-body connection, and explore individualized strategies for optimizing mental wellness. I have experience supporting clients around a variety of needs including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, neurodiversity, identity, special needs parenting, relationships, behaviors, and substance use.
I have background in a number of evidence-based practices and utilize an integrative approach to meet my clients' unique needs as well as supporting parents with special needs children. I am a registered yoga teacher, trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, and an Evergreen ADHD Clinical Services Provider and Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.
I have extensive experience working with diverse populations of all ages, including children and teens. I specialize in working with people impacted by adoption and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I also have two feline assistants you may see during our sessions.
