I strive to meet people where they are, to listen and understand their values, to explore and encourage them to connect to what matters most to them. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while forging an awareness that the past does not have to dictate one’s current reality. Developing a clear, nonjudgmental view of their journey allows people to work towards creating a life congruent with their values. I believe all humans have inherent worth and dignity, I believe each person can overcome the trauma and struggles they have endured or face now.

I specialize in EMDR, CBT/DBT and MI. I have extensive history working with individuals who live with profound grief, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD and other diagnoses and environmental stressors. I witness and work with countless individuals as they recover from a variety of addictions. Each of us has the capacity for joy and peace.

I believe everyone is the expert of their own life, each of us holds the seeds to our healing. Yet trauma can often damage our trust in ourselves, our confidence and hope; it is easy to lose touch with our true self. I will be honored to work with you, as you restore your connection to Self, build your resilience and tend to your healing at your own pace.

Life can be incredibly difficult and traumatic for all individuals. Everyone attempts to manage the suffering that is often a regular part of life in different ways. Throughout our journey together I aim to work side by side to increase understand and acceptance of ourselves, our journey and develop the skills to live a life which is congruent with ones values.

I often use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support individuals to understand how often internal and external events impact our thoughts and emotions and ultimately our behaviors. Once people have developed a basic understanding and began to develop some coping skills for emotion regulation then can work to address the traumatic experiences of life.
