I believe that as individuals make sense of their story they create a life that aligns with who they are. By using trauma-informed modalities like Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems and other experiential therapies, I help clients heal from issues related to trauma, anxiety depression, grief, childhood neglect/ abuse, feeling stuck or sensing that something is just “not right."
By integrating my clinical training in mental health counseling with my training in mindfulness, somatic work and inner healing techniques, I help clients heal from past wounding. Clients with complex trauma often feel they are accelerating their progress by using modalities such as Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Sandtray and IFS.
If you are someone who is struggling, exhausted and ready for change... or if you are someone who is unsure about counseling, reach out and see if I might be a good fit for you. If I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds and am sensitive to religious and cultural differences.
