Traumatic experiences lead to trauma. That trauma deep inside of our bodies which ends up effecting most areas of our lives. The clients I have worked with, do hard work, the hardest and bravest work I have had the honor of being a part of. My client's need safety and as Gabor Mate states the "two basic human needs Authenticity and Attachment". My client's learn who they are, and what each of the identities they hold mean to them. They take power back and action through intensive trauma therapy which does not always require them to speak their traumatic experiences. My client's learn to believe in the good things coming.

My therapist role is to help you gain new skills and insights in your healing journey to create powerful and lasting change. I am honored to specialize in four areas.

Reunification Therapy: court-involved family situations like divorce and custody. I am an informed member of AFCC. I often integrate IFS with my training in EMDR.
