As a therapist and as a fellow human being, I have come to know trauma. More importantly, I have seen the other side of trauma, and to experience and bear witness to this type of profound healing is awe-inspiring. I am a trauma specialist who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from the impacts of traumatic experiences including sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, maltreatment, neglect, life threatening/life changing events, and grief or loss.
I place utmost value on earning a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance via attunement, unconditional positive regard, and leaning into each survivor’s uniqueness and embodied wisdom. I aim to cultivate a safe environment with cultural humility, neurodiverse flexibility, and developmentally adaptive approaches.
I aspire to support any modalities and techniques with play-based interactions, wonder, and intuition. My nature is curious, playful, and improvisational, so I am at my best when working with the young or young at heart. I also have experience in theater and music, so I naturally gravitate towards creative, expressive, and experiential interventions as well.
