You may have difficulty remembering or talking about your childhood, feel fragmented and unable to understand your internal experience, engage in harmful behaviors without knowing why, or move between feeling detached and on edge. I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in working with Childhood Sexual Abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), as well as related concerns stemming from complex developmental and attachment trauma. In therapy together, I can help untangle the complexities of your painful experiences in a way that is warm, collaborative, creative, trauma sensitive, and focused on the mind-body connection.

The poet Walt Whitman once wrote, “I contain multitudes.” We can acknowledge and explore these multitudes with compassion and curiosity in therapy, where nothing is ever too much or too dark to share. It's a safe, steady, and nurturing environment where we can engage with your pain and foster healing together. All of you is welcome here.

I bring my lived experience with mental health struggles and the healing that eventually followed to my therapeutic work. I know what it's like to be sitting across the room from where I often am now! Whether you've received counseling for years or are seeking it for the first time, I'm holding hope for you and would love to be a part of your healing story.

Insurance

Out of Network

The opportunity to pursue healing via counseling should be accessible, and those who can pay a full fee help make it possible for me to offer a reduced fee to those unable to access therapy otherwise. I don't accept insurance or EAPs but can provide superbills to help with insurance reimbursement.

I integrate many types of therapies. For instance, Ego State Therapy explores parts of self and is especially helpful for dissociative disorders, and Sandtray Therapy is an expressive way for people of all ages to deeply process their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and more using "miniatures" in the sand. Please note that at my current office, I am only able to see children aged 9 and older.
