I incorporate trauma focused modalities using CPT and TF-CBT, as well as DBT and other skills based approaches to help the processes when needed.
I am a licensed clinician who has experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, and bipolar. I believe that from our birth we begin building an image of who we are, how relationships should function, and how the world works around us. For many of us, adverse experiences in life can lead to difficulty managing stress or daily functioning as we get older. We may need help processing our lived experiences and understanding how they have effected our decision making and the struggles we face today. I believe that, by focusing on the present and applying the past, we can discover both our goals and our strengths.

Mental health exists across the board, no matter the age or culture we come from. From experience and observation, I have found that when we feel heard, validated, and valued by people we trust, the impact is significant and lastingly beneficial. Working on “self”, developing the skills needed to navigate life, building relationships, and maintaining overall well-being can be challenging. I hope to meet you where you are while we build a relationship based on trust, rapport, and empathy. As we continue working together in a non-judgmental, safe space, we will establish your needs and goals as you see fit.

Is your past keeping you stuck? Sometimes our traumatic life experiences get in the way of the life we want to lead. Sometimes moving on feels impossible because those painful memories make it difficult to fully connect with ourselves and others . I believe that every person has the ability to heal and discover their full potential. We can work together to identify patterns of relationship struggles, problematic substance use, or other negative behaviors and find a solution. It is never too late and there is always hope.

I help clients gain the confidence to speak from the heart, live authentically & have peace releasing some of the emotional responsibility they carry. I’m no stranger to working with clients who struggle with anxiety, attachment/relational trauma, shame and just want to be free to be themselves. Over the years I’ve found that most of the anxiety issues I’ve worked with started from a life experience or circumstance. When clients come to therapy they begin to understand that anxiety isn’t necessarily who they are, but their anxiety helped them adapt to some very tricky people, environments and situations.
