Throughout our lives, our truest selves can become obscured by societal norms, familial dynamics, and cultural pressures. We learn to leave behind our authenticity for the safety of connection and relationships, which can lead to a profound sense of loss and disconnection later on. It's common to feel we're merely surviving in a world that stifles our deepest truths, and we may notice a yearning to reclaim our authentic nature. In our sessions, we'll explore the questions, "Underneath it all, who are you longing to be? How are you longing to live? And what would it be like to embrace/express these deep longings wholeheartedly?"

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

I utilize a humanistic approach, recognizing each client as a unique individual, shaped by unique forces, with their own unique story to tell. As such, I employ a personalized treatment framework, working in collaboration with the client to address their specific needs and goals. I believe there is strength and goodness in every person and strive to help individuals access and understand their feelings, gain a sense of meaning in life, and reach self-actualization. My previous work experience includes six years at a children’s hospital serving children and adolescents struggling with behavioral health and substance use issues.
