I enjoy working with teenagers and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, faith transitions, and family and relational issues. As a therapist, I believe that each individual has it within themselves to heal and overcome life’s challenges. I empower my clients to access these internal resources as well as provide external tools to help my clients live a full and authentic life. It is important to me to create a space that is compassionate and free of judgment in order for my clients to do their best healing.
It is important for me to tailor my approach to each client's individual needs. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Attachment Therapy, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Self Compassion, and Solution Focused Therapy.
In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, going to local farmer’s markets, and paddleboarding.
