I have worked with high-acuity clients, utilizing a trauma-informed lens to help them create and progress on their treatment goals. Currently, I work with adults in substance use recovery, leading group therapy to provide psychoeducation on relapse prevention.

It is human to experience distress when we live through trauma – single events or ongoing. I work with people who are trying to manage that distress. In addition to survivors, I also work with those impacted by other people's trauma. That group can include loved ones and professionals who manage other people’s distress. I offer relational psychotherapy to individuals and trauma-focused case consultation to professionals. I am developing a sub-specialty in working with journalists exposed to occupational chronic stress and trauma. I have an appreciation for the role of journalism. It is a privilege to work with news professionals.

I believe that each and every one of us has the potential to uncover the most thriving version of ourselves- the version that knows we are deeply loveable, worthy, and capable. We uncover and step into that by healing the emotional wounds that cause us to think otherwise about ourselves and the world, by bringing attention to those wounds with empathy and care. Therapy can be a transformative resource on that journey.
