Waitlist for new clients
I focus on clients experiencing complications from trauma or chronic stress using a DBT approach to help clients cope with daily challenges of living.
Hello! I'm so glad you found me! I am a seasoned counselor specializing in complex trauma - I primarily work with clients who are seeking treatment to address ongoing issues related to traumatic or chronically stressful experiences and I also work with individuals that are in need of support for depression, anxiety, and management of the stress that comes with living life day-to-day. I believe that there is no one blueprint for wellness and the experience of therapy should reflect that. Counseling should not be a rigid process - it can be silly, structured, serious, or something different every time.

I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, existential theories, and mindfulness in my practice, such as art therapy.
I try to show up authentically as both a counselor and a human; I believe we are all trying our best in a world that's less than ideal and it can be helpful to have someone to talk things through with. It's my goal to provide a safe space for you to process the ups and downs of life. I’ve seen that through intentional discussion we can challenge perspectives around emotion and cognition that shape our understanding of experiences. I believe emotions and thoughts not only need to be processed and released but can also inform necessary change in our lives and help us achieve growth if we can learn to listen to them.

I primarily use internal family systems and somatic therapies in my counseling practice which I integrate with DBT behavioral skills training when appropriate.
Psychotherapy can provide an invaluable space to explore our fears and suffering with a compassionate witness. Over time, we are able to befriend aspects of ourselves that we have suppressed and begin to recognize that our symptoms are coping skills we have used to survive. I seek to provide gentle guidance to clients to help them move into discomfort, expand their insight, and discover previously untapped strength and resources, while also respecting each person’s unique process and pacing. I have a holistic approach, taking into consideration the mind, body, and spirit as integral to healing.
