Do you have diverse needs and struggle with intimacy and trauma? My journey with spina bifida has deepened my understanding of how inherent challenges shape one’s story and humanity. As your therapist, I’ll provide you with an empathetic and therapeutic experience of support and understanding in an atmosphere of compassion, acceptance, and authenticity. My experience includes working with diverse populations, from those with developmental disabilities, chronic illness, and end-of-life issues to trauma survivors, LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC, and those dealing with substance use.
Every day, nature shows us not to fear change. My therapeutic approach blends its message with training and experience in trauma-informed care, compassion fatigue, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom Technique, somatic/biofeedback therapies, end-of-life care, and grief.
If you’ve come this far in your search, I know you’re ready and willing to do the work true healing and growth entail. My diverse toolkit ensures that I can tailor the therapy to your unique needs, providing you with the best possible support. I’m accepting new clients and would be honored to be a guide and witness to your journey! Please reach out to me.
