I specialize in the stuff most people prefer to sweep under the rug—trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. You know, the things that, if left unchecked, turn into the monster under the bed, except this one doesn’t go away when you turn on the light.

Life’s messy, but we can still make progress while acknowledging that, sometimes, it’s a bit of a dumpster fire. The important part is that we start pulling you out of it.

I draw most heavily from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian Analytical Psychology, Person-Centered Theory, and Existential Theory.
I believe most problems stem from traumas of varying degrees. Awareness of how trauma impacts the mind and body allows it to be healed rather than avoided or channeled into destructive behaviors. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, addiction, personality disorders, grief and loss, and life transitions.
