As a resident in counseling, I’m committed to helping people who have experienced something traumatizing in their life, people who are looking for someone to help them make sense of what has happened to them, or people who feel like they have no one to turn to for support. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced single instance and chronic trauma, interpersonal trauma, childhood/developmental trauma, domestic violence, sexual trauma, and relationship concerns.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced single instance and chronic trauma, interpersonal trauma, childhood/developmental trauma, domestic violence, sexual trauma, and relationship concerns.
I work with children (5+), adolescents (families) and adults. Children often exhibit behaviors such as outbursts, meltdowns or withdrawal that indicate their cry for help. Pre-teens, teens and adults will often exhibit signs of depression and anxiety or even physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other health concerns that are often a sign of their internal struggles. No matter the age I believe all can benefit from mental health services. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use this belief to guide the therapeutic process to meet your unique needs.

Ideally, our early experiences of connection were secure, safe, accessible, and responsive and we developed an internal sense of ourselves as loveable, worthy, and deserving of getting our needs met. But what happens when this has not been our experience? Many of us have had to find ways to adapt and survive moments of disconnect, invalidation, or criticism. This can often mean we hold beliefs about ourselves that are limiting, worry that we have to hide or minimize parts of who we are, deny certain emotions, hustle for our worth, and/or build up layers of protection. I can support you to heal, connect and create lasting change.

Trauma and other adverse experiences can play a significant role in how we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. Even though we may intellectually know that our thoughts and responses aren't serving us, our wounded parts may be in the driver's seat. I create a safe and affirming space for older adolescent and adult clients to both process and develop skills to help them move away from just "surviving." I strive to embody cultural humility and a passion for social justice in my work. My goal is to partner with clients to help them develop self-compassionate understanding and foster meaningful changes in their lives.

You can read the complete bio on my website, but let's hit the highlights here. Since 8th grade I wanted to be a therapist – primarily driven by a desire to help people, but coming in a close second is my general fascination with why humans think and act the way we do. I studied psychology, minoring in philosophy, and at the same time began working in mental health in 1996. At first this was with "at-risk" children/teens, although later I shifted to residential treatment while pursuing my master's in school counseling. Although I had always wanted to be in a clinical setting, being a guidance counselor was a more practical start.

Therapy can sometimes feel awkward at first; it may bring out feelings of vulnerability and may be emotionally taxing. That's why building trust and rapport early on is crucial, making you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we can collaboratively set goals and develop coping skills to tackle any challenges you face. Each client's situation is unique, guiding my therapeutic approach. I often use an eclectic mix of treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
