My role as a therapist is to be an active collaborator in your journey to reclaim your unique vitality. I offer a variety of therapeutic methods and coping skills that help you improve your quality of life, connection with yourself and others, and to develop your own internal sense of purpose and resilience.
My clinical approach is relational, centers social justice, somatic awareness, and is trauma-focused. I am trained in EMDR, an effective approach for trauma and stress. Additionally, I specialize in ADHD and autism, as well as issues related to family formation, chronic illness, and aging. My therapeutic style is known to be direct, yet warm and supportive.
Specialties: Trauma disorders (PTSD/C-PTSD), Mood disorders (bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety) and Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, etc.); Identity and Relationships (Diverse Family, Sexuality, and LGBTQ+ communities). Trained in DBT, ACT and EMDR.
