Life stress can often pile up to a point where we feel we cannot handle it on our own. This stress can look like wounds from past experiences, ongoing trauma, or maybe feeling like there is too much to handle on your plate. I hope to partner with you to create a comfortable and therapeutic space, so you can begin to process some of the challenges that life throws our way. I am passionate about assisting adolescents and adults to make positive change in their lives, wherever they are at in their journey towards growth.

Have you been through a difficult experience? I specialize in emotional and relational disorders arising from trauma, sexual abuse, attachment disruptions, and less-than-optimal early childhood experiences. These types of experiences can create life-long distress and difficulty with relationships. Finding the right therapist is an important first step in healing from trauma. My orientation integrates modern neuroscience with relational psychotherapy. In addition to traditional methods, I utilize expressive approaches such as sandtray, play therapy, psychodrama, movement, and art therapy in my practice. I will tailor your sessions to meet your unique needs and ways of expressing yourself.

As our identities grow and shift as we move through life, it can be overwhelming to try and navigate those changes alone– especially when we feel like we're "supposed" to act, feel, or be a certain way. Those pressures may come from narratives that we’ve internalized from others, whether that be from our families, our peers, or society at large. My aim is to create a warm, collaborative, and affirming space where we can explore and bring awareness to the stories that make up your life narrative: celebrating the stories that honor your experiences and gently deconstructing the narratives that no longer serve you.

I am a clinical social worker with passion for trauma and mood disorders. I use a collaborative approach with clients and support systems to address challenges with mood, suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety and other behaviors that are no longer serving your needs. I enjoy clients who can be vulnerable, who want to do things differently, and who are willing to be challenged. Bonus points if you use humor to cope and want to listen to music and color in session.

Trauma happens. We rarely can control it; it does not discriminate in who experiences it, and no two individuals experience trauma in the same way. The definition of trauma is not universal. What may be traumatic for one may not be for another. And the path to recovery is as unique as the experience itself. You may not have chosen to experience trauma, but you can choose your path to recovery. You have the power to recover. Trauma does not limit its impact on those who experienced it; it also impacts loved ones. It can take the form of conflict, stress and anxiety, burnout, parenting struggles, or caregiving for a loved one.
