I focus on clients above with trauma, with adults and children as young as 2 years old.
For adults/older kids, depending on the trauma, I use either traditional talk therapy (CBT) or EMDR. EMDR uses physical stimulus to process trauma memories directly.
For children, I use play therapy (Ages 4-12) individually with the child or PCIT (Ages 2-7). PCIT helps guardians use play therapy skills at home to redefine their relationship with their child.
I'm not a very formal person. I bring a more relaxed approach.

I am a therapist specializing in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and anxiety disorders. I am incredibly passionate about helping adolescents and adults break free from the cycles of fear, avoidance, and compulsive behaviors that keep them from living the lives they want.

Seeking help with life challenges can be intimidating. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel comfortable to explore their struggles, reach their goals and find hope that leads to healing. Over the years in a variety of social service roles assisting children and families, I have learned that it is essential to find the right person with whom you can build an authentic connection and from whom you can receive support. I believe we can find that connection together.
