“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy." - Brene Brown
I have specialized experience in grief and loss, chronic illness, terminal diagnosis, complex trauma (CPTSD), EMDR, and parenting and caregiver concerns. I also specialize in creating a safe space for those in life transitions, including teens and adults, to discover ways to navigate life’s inevitable challenges while building a life they love.
I know deciding to begin therapy for you or your child is a big decision. While the work can be hard, I am here to support and encourage you throughout the process. My approach balances genuine compassion with structured support toward growth and healing. Curious to learn more? Let's talk.
