You have taken a wonderful first step to figuring out what brings you joy, understanding, hope, and healing. Therapy is a safe space to hold hope. Hope for relief from what life brings you and at times is overwhelming…and hope that you can be heard and validated. My view of counseling is that each client and their story is unique and deserves a collaborative, person-centered approach. My therapeutic approach is based on attachment theory, Gottman Method couple's therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, family therapy models, and trauma modalities such as cognitive processing therapy.

Emotional, psychological, and interpersonal/social growth is a continual process of self transformation and change. At points when one feels stuck or confused in that process, or when life just isn't working, it often helps to connect with a therapist. I provide a safe space where you can be, or recover/rediscover, your authentic self; deepen the emotional connection with yourself and others; clarify thoughts, beliefs, and values; consider new ways of being in the world and w/others; develop healthier adaptive strategies for relating to yourself and others; and work through past and/or present griefs and traumas.

I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorder or difficult life transitions. I also specialize in helping people who come from difficult circumstances and are now struggling emotionally or with their relationships because of it. I am particularly focused on helping people heal from trauma, with an emphasis on the wounds of early childhood. In addition to my EMDR certification, I have additional training in trauma informed stabilization treatment and ego state therapy. I have also received training in Sandra Paulson's early trauma protocol. My approach to client work is flexible and attachment-focused.

I specialize in adolescents and young adults transitioning into new life stages, and adults of all ages who feel stuck in life.

I believe that we hold the ability to challenge ourselves, to grow through maximizing our strengths, and finding unique ways to add to the best parts that already exist within us. I have found that through sharing a space where openness and understanding (and a little bit of humor) are present, you also have the ability to flourish, whether that be through walking the journey alone or with the added support of those who love and care for you. I focus on helping adults, both individuals and couples, with anxiety/stress, self-esteem, depression, communication, and relationships

I am especially committed to working with adolescents and young adults who have experienced childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, anxiety, and neurodiversity.
Past traumatic experiences can significantly impact how we function in the present, affecting our relationships and overall sense of self. This can lead to feeling disconnected, stuck, or emotionally flooded. I aim to provide a safe space that encourages self-exploration for processing past wounds, ultimately leading to self-acceptance. Having worked in diverse settings such as schools, private practice, and the justice system, I understand that the human experience can be painful, and no one should have to endure this pain alone.
