We know life can be stressful and, unfortunately, at times even traumatic. I can help you manage challenges and apply strategies for relief and healing. As a certified trauma specialist, I offer motivational and evidence-based support to encourage self-awareness, acceptance, coping, and relational skills. Through this collaborative and respectful process, you'll build personal strengths that will ultimately make life more manageable and meaningful.

Holistic care involves the integration of mind/body and affirms the uniqueness of each individual. I have significant experience in applying clinical best practices in supporting survivors of trauma and loss.

It's challenging to allow vulnerability and begin to work through life issues to become more authentically yourself. If you are ready and willing, I will offer a judgment-free space to support your therapeutic goals. Our initial conversation is key to identifying initial needs and begin working together for your healing, health and wellbeing.
