Are you having an existential crisis, depression, anxiety? Problem behaviors? Do you have a trauma history that you are ready to unpack? I am here to help. My therapy dog, Toby, is also on your team! I have helped children, adults, couples, and families to heal through these issues over the past 14 years. The services provided support clients through short or long term mental health goals, relationship or social problems, and existential issues. Helping my clients to heal and thrive through life’s adversities is a passion. To me, therapy is an art, so let’s create something beautiful together!
It would be an honor to work with you in creating a life that you find truly worthy of living. We will process through the hard stuff in an accepting, safe space. I use an attachment and trauma focused lens, based in the neurobiology of emotion and relationship. Practical and communication skills are weaved in. For kids, play and art therapy strategies.
It is an interesting time to be alive. Our lives are full of contrast: highs, lows, and everything in between. I want to hear and honor your story, to witness your growth, and to help you to develop your most authentic life. If you have questions about my identity, lived experience, modalities I utilize, or how sessions run, please feel free to reach out.
