I value the time and courage it takes to seek out a therapist. I'm honored you landed here. I utilize inner child work, exposure technique, art and somatic techniques. I am trained in brainspotting and find value in utilizing this approach to address and heal trauma. I view therapy as a co-creative space, where clients can process life transitions, addiction/recovery, anxiety, spiritual/ religious trauma, or just struggles of the human experience in general and know they are in a nonjudgmental, safe space. I also recently trained in EFT (emotionally focused therapy), which I utilize with couples seeking to deepen their relationship.
My specialties include: religious/spiritual trauma, substance misuse, life transitions, family/spouse conflict, LGBTQ+ issues (including family conflict/acceptance, transitioning, and relationships), and grief.
I know how hard it is to search for a therapist that will be a good fit for the challenges that one has. As a therapist, my main energy is put towards making sure clients feel seen, heard, and valued in the energy it takes to reach out, show up, and share their story. It is my honor to do this work and I look forward to sharing space with you.
