I believe in developing safe connected relationships with every individual I work with so they can find peace, reach their full potential, and heal past trauma. I use a strengths-based perspective partnering with you to identify and meet your goals and overcome challenges.
I utilize trauma focused approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Body-Based approaches, and IFS/parts work. I provide a safe, welcoming place for you to explore your self, your relationships, your past and future, and learn skills to reach your life goals.
As an experienced clinician I enjoy providing a welcoming place for LGBTQA+ individuals, and people from diverse socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. I have experience working with children, adolescents, college students and adults.
