You may be grieving a loss, struggling to move forward, or caught in a seemingly intractable conflict within yourself or with others in your life. You may feel stuck in place, trapped in old habits, or merely surviving when you want to thrive.

I've found success guiding others with this relationship-based, trauma-focused approach, and I'm confident that together we can bring into being your most authentic self.

I approach therapy from a trauma focused lens and support clients in addressing how previous life experiences impact current functioning.
I believe that choosing to engage in therapy is one of the bravest acts that one can do for themselves. It requires a person to acknowledge and confront potentially painful experiences and negative core beliefs that can have become foundational. Therapy can help to establish a healthier foundation. I strive to develop a therapeutic relationship by cultivating collaboration, encouraging vulnerability, challenging avoidance, and acknowledging how difficult all of this can be to navigate. I view myself, and the therapy space, as a container in which to foster change and I approach every client with empathy, curiosity and compassion.

Using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, including Trauma Focused CBT, we can address a range of mental health concerns.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals and families with a wide range of backgrounds, goals, and concerns. I aim to work with clients who are committed to the process of therapy, those wanting to dedicate the time to address whatever their needs are in that moment, and those willing to be present and open-minded in their progress.

I utilize a variety of modalities including person-centered, Humanistic, trauma focused, attachment-based, play therapy, mindfulness, sand tray.
Unconditional empathy and understanding are rare in this world, and yet we all need both. I recognizes change is difficult but believes people have a strength and the ability greater than they realize to move through difficult times and heal. My goal is to cultivate a supportive and healing environment in which clients feel seen, secure, and protected. My focus is on a person’s potential and not problematic behaviors. My approach provides the space for individuals to step into a growth mindset, gain insight, belief in themself, and opportunity to appreciate their uniqueness.

I believe that each person has an enormous capacity to recover from trauma and difficult experiences when provided with a safe, warm, and supportive environment. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to participate in the therapeutic relationship with clients and help equip and empower them in their healing journeys. My practice is a client-centered, strengths-based approach rooted in attachment theory. I believe that the therapeutic process is adaptable; Because of this, I draw on several evidence-based theoretical frameworks (play therapy, attachment theory, trauma-focused CBT, DBT) depending on what best fits each client.
