Hello, I’m Violet, a licensed therapist with 12 years of experience helping individuals to find hope and healing to overcome all of life’s challenges. Whether it be grief, loss, life changes and transitions, anxiety or trauma, relationship concerns, parenting struggles or family conflict, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. I specialize in working with anxiety/trauma, infertility, new parents, and pregnancy/postpartum concerns. I also have experience and a heart for working with parents of special needs children.

I take a collaborative approach in therapy, starting where you are and working together to make positive changes. As a trauma informed therapist, I consider the important role of our mind-body connection. I practice Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, two evidenced based modalities.

Feeling comfortable with your therapist is a key factor in therapy being succsessful. To help you feel more comfortable and confident in your choice, I offer free consultation to meet and help you decide if we are a good fit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and wish you well in your healing journey.

Each session, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where you are able to decide the focus of the session. We will spend time exploring and processing your concerns, while also developing helpful skills to calm your body and mind. These skills will help you to feel more in control of your thoughts and feelings, and better able to cope with life's challenges outside of therapy.
