“Whether we’re overcoming adversity, surviving trauma or dealing with stress or anxiety, having a sense of purpose, meaning, and perspective in our lives allows us to develop understanding and move forward. Without purpose, meaning and perspective, it is easy to lose hope, numb our emotions or become overwhelmed by our circumstances. We feel reduced, less capable, and lose in the face of struggle. The heart of spirituality is connection. When we believe in that inextricable connection, we don’t feel alone.” – Brene Brown
I take with me 25+ years of psych-related experiences: outpatient/psychiatric, community/school-based, assessment/training & family counseling. My unique training in Counseling Psychology, EMDR, IFS, DBT/CBT & Art Therapy prepared me to support individuals who struggle with trauma/PTSD, addiction & sexual/gender/ethnic-racial/spiritual identity issues.
What to expect? I will understand your journey, and make sense of your dreams & goals. Together, we can come up with a plan, work through your struggles and find a path towards self-empowerment, and growth that is both safe and confidential. I utilize therapeutic, neurologically & empirically-based approaches that can help you not only cope but also THRIVE.

Mid-term, we deepen the work from a trauma-focused perspective through the use of Internal Family Systems, IFS-Informed EMDR & Coherence Therapy. Through self-compassion, inner knowing, and neuroscience, I help create an internal system that is more coherent, wherein memory reconsolidation can take place. My hope is that you can respond to life with greater wholeness, flexibility, & inner harmony.
