I provide an integrated approach to complex trauma, neurodiversity, women's needs, and substance use disorders.
In today's world, we often find ourselves disconnected from our loved ones, communities, and ourselves. The challenges we face can be more complex and layered than we may realize; just like us. It can seem daunting to take on healing (new or old pains) on our own, and we often feel we should or have to go it alone. As a therapist, my goal is to partner with you in building upon your insight, empowerment, fulfillment, and practical agency for healing. We are active participants in both the challenges we face and the solutions we create; within accountability lies empowerment.

Sessions are a curated experience and conducted with the utmost discretion and regard for confidentiality.

I utilize a variety of techniques, drawn from a foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): exposure therapy, trauma focused-CBT, cognitive processing therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, hypnosis, and mindfulness.
I have been working as a clinical therapist for more than 12 years, and previously worked in community social services with individuals experiencing homelessness and severe persistent mental illness. Over 15 years of work in the mental health field has taught me that a successful therapeutic relationship relies on building trust while seeking to understand my patients' points of view. In my previous therapy and social work roles, this belief has remained at the center of my work. As a therapist, I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults with a variety of presenting concerns.

Creating art promotes emotional awareness, reflection and processing of the human experience. The beauty of using art therapeutically is that previous art experience is not required. I'm glad to work with clients who have never made art, or make it every day. Whether you want to work on processing experience and emotion, need mental health support, want to use an integrative mental health approach or just need some time to experience mindfulness and stress management tools, I am here to help you utilize art therapy.

My mission is to empower individuals to grow and reach their full potential by working through life's challenges in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Sessions are client-focused, allowing room for the individual to create personal goals. The therapeutic relationship is a safe place to explore the self and process problematic or stressful issues. By sharing thoughts and feelings, core beliefs unfold, allowing for greater insight. In therapy, we can work to diminish turmoil, restore our connections to others and reduce feelings of anxiety, sadness and frustration.

Psychotherapy is the intricate healing process of restoring parts of ourselves that we are struggling with. While we humans cannot choose what happens to us or make everything “right” to us, we have the power to alter how suffering affects us.

Sometimes we all feel lost. And yet, we all have an internal guidance system that can help us understand what's important in our lives and how to make choices.

My hope is that after each session, you feel that your needs have have been addressed and that you leave with questions to explore or tools to try out.

We all have times when we run out of ideas about how to deal with problems in our lives. It can help to involve a new set of eyes and ears to see things from a different angle. We work to gain new skills and insights, and tap into our forgotten strengths, to create independence and lasting positive change. We look at the rigid and unhelpful patterns we have, and work together to form new ways of thinking and doing. While this process unfolds you are free to be your authentic self, without feeling judgment, powerlessness, or shame, in a safe and trusting atmosphere.
