As a trauma-informed and integrative therapist, I specialize in a few different practice areas to help clients move forward in their lives. One area is coercive control recovery, particularly those who are leaving or have left high-control groups, cults, spiritual or religious institutions, and relationships. Another area is recovery from eating disorders, patterns of relationship challenges, and substance misuse. I additionally specialize in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ populations. I lead with respect, compassion and collaboration and consider it a privilege to work with clients for any leg of their healing journey.
I have been practicing in group and individual counseling for 18 years and am trained deeply in a number of insight-oriented, skills-based, group and trauma recovery modalities. I take an individualized approach to all clients and use what works for each person in front of me rather than a "one size fits all" approach.
I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist & Qualified Supervisor through the American Group Psychotherapy Association, and I am a Certified Coercive Control Specialist.
