I strive to meet my clients where they are at without judgment or expectation; to offer a guiding light in the storms of life and provide a safe harbor. My approach to therapy is to provide individuals with a person-centered and strengths-based partnership grounded in trauma-informed evidence-based practices including EMDR, IFS-informed Parts Work, and Animal-Assisted Therapy Interventions (AAT).
I specialize treating neurodiverse children and adults across the lifespan (Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, etc.), individuals diagnosed with chronic illness or chronic pain (Fibromyalgia, MS, hEDS, Lupus, POTS, Dysautonomia, T1 Diabetes), and those with complex trauma histories (C-PTSD).
If you are searching for a light in the darkness, solid ground to stand on, or a safe place to breathe, please contact me. We are not meant to handle life alone. It is my privilege to partner with you on your courageous wellness journey of embodiment, introspection, healing, resilience, and acceptance.

I primarily work with neurodiversity, emotional dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and complex trauma (often regarding medical trauma, chronic illness, and gaslighting). I tailor your treatment plan to your individual goals. You can expect to learn multiple somatic grounding and resourcing skills, and if appropriate engage in animal-assisted therapy focused on the mind-body connection.

My preferred treatment modalities I use are an eclectic blend of EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, animal-assisted therapy, and somatic sensory-based interventions. I introduce treatment modalities in clear language and provide psychoeducation to clients and their families. In addition, I often email related resources after sessions to assist in reinforcing follow through between sessions.
