Supervised by Lacie Hamilton. Do you struggle with trauma, anxiety, grief, or betrayal that impacts your day-to-day life, relationships, or sense of self? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure how to move forward? Welcome to the club "Trying to be Human" it can be really hard. Perhaps you’re navigating what it means to recover from betrayal or trauma, cope with a loss, or rebuild after a challenging relationship. These feelings can leave you questioning whether life will ever feel better or more stable. Now more than ever, people are facing uncertainty, stress, and disconnection, leaving them searching for hope and answers.
Hope is not out of reach. With the right support, healing is possible. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help people process trauma, build resilience, develop coping skills, improve regulation & rediscover their true self. So that you can become the person your 12-year-old self would be proud of.
Sometimes, we get stuck. We can’t find our way. The rage, grief, despair, helplessness- feels too scary to move through alone. We get lost & need someone else, a loving presence, to help along the way. I strive to create a welcoming & sheltering hour where clients can explore & discover their authentic self. A space where everyone feels heard and supported.

I'm trained in EMDR and ETT, two highly effective therapies that help me work with a range of clients. My practice focuses on trauma in all its forms, specifically attachment trauma, relational trauma, religious trauma, infidelity, & grief. The therapeutic relationship is sacred to me, & I'm deeply committed to the transformative work we do together.

Each person is unique, so I use an eclectic approach to counseling, looking at clients holistically and adapting to fit your needs. I often use IFS to help you make space for all your feelings and parts, creating room for your highest self. I also use ETT and EMDR to build resourcing skills and grounding. As we deepen into healing, we'll gain clarity on which therapies work best for you.
