I’m a ND therapist with a focus on dysfunctional childhoods, survivors of emotionally immature parents and/or relationships, PTSD, autism, OCD & depression. I’m interested in unhealed wounds left unspoken that affect your current day life. They may have been dismissed or not validated as trauma. I’m a certified clinical trauma provider, trained in many evidence-based practices. Proud to be going on 10 years as a therapist while working in hospitals, community mental health centers, residential homes, inpatient programs, addiction treatment centers and a career center.
People come to therapy for different reasons. No two people are the same. Looking to make a behavioral change or want to better manage mood shifts? Maybe you want to take control of racing thoughts or reduce negative thoughts, worries, doubts and feelings. Perhaps you’re adjusting to a major life change and wondering why this is all happening.
Whatever you are living through, there is hope and treatment for you. Beginning therapy or switching therapists can be overwhelming and downright scary at times. I’ll support you along your journey to ensure you’re getting the most out of our work. We will use techniques to heal both mind and body.

Creating a safe space for people to feel seen & heard is paramount. I value ongoing training and education in this field, particularly in trauma and neurodivergent affirming care. I keep up to date on evidence-based treatments, and most recently completed in-depth work in brainspotting.

I use an eclectic approach with all interventions remaining evidence-based. Polyvagal nerve theory/somatic healing, internal family systems/parts work, and brainspotting are my most top utilized treatment approaches. I have seen the most healing take place from these approaches, along with a trusting mutual relationship between you and I.
