Trauma can strike anyone at any time, leaving both visible and invisible scars. If you're seeking a companion to support your journey from hurt to healing, I am here for you. I can guide you on your path, explain how trauma affects the brain, and show you methods to overcome it. My expertise encompasses various forms of trauma, including childhood abuse, religious trauma, medical trauma, shaming, single-event trauma, and trauma from past therapy, as well as managing anger, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I am an ally of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Understanding that therapy is not a "One Size Fits All" service, I advocate for a collaborative approach. I enable my clients to participate in creating their treatment plans and setting achievable goals, ensuring that each individual receives tailored and attentive care. My training includes EMDR, ACT, IFS, CBT, and several other trauma-focused modalities.

I hold the belief that individuals are not broken, merely wounded, and that wounds are capable of healing. It is my desire to assist you in discovering healing and tranquility. As a therapist, I actively listen to my clients and collaborate with them to uncover inventive and effective methods to enhance their lives.

Trauma-informed, compassionate care for children, teens, and adults. I use play- and strengths-based approaches with evidence-based treatments (CBT, TF-CBT, EMDR) to build safety, emotion regulation, and coping skills. I support families, reduce self-harm risk, and empower lasting recovery and hope.

I often use the following treatment modalities:EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their charge and feel manageable. CBT teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. ACT and IFS work together to increase willingness, clarify values, and heal protective "parts." Play- and strengths-based approaches plus art therapy engage clients and build practical coping.
