My clinical approach is always mindful of attachment needs, brain development, and how chronic stress impacts one's brain and body. If you have experienced traumatic stress you may be experiencing the following reactions: struggling with daily functioning; difficulty focusing; negative beliefs about self and others; difficulty feeling positive emotions; angry outbursts; flashbacks; feeling tense, on edge, or easily startled; physical pain; significant self-blame and shame; avoidance of traumatic memories, thoughts, feelings, and situations; nightmares; or difficulty falling and staying asleep.
During the past 21 years, I have provided therapy for children, adolescents, and adults to facilitate their trauma healing, manage current stressors, and develop more helpful coping strategies. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatments: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I strive to create a culturally sensitive, affirming and safe space for you to mindfully process thoughts, feelings, and behavioral reactions. Please feel free to reach out to me to schedule a free 30-minute consultation. You will be encouraged to determine if I am a good fit for you. Together will we determine the next steps in your healing journey.

I work with clients who have experienced complex and/or single-event traumas. During our work together, we will utilize EMDR Therapy to desensitize your physical and emotional reactions to traumatic events, as well as create more helpful and adaptive thought patterns about yourself/others. EMDR Therapy has a structured protocol but your individual needs will be constantly assessed and respected.
