The folks I get to work with tend to feel stuck; maybe they've been in therapy forever and haven't found the connection or growth they've needed. Or they have never tried therapy, and the idea of going on Psychology Today is the bravest thing you've ever done. I get to work with folks who have experienced an array of trauma including (but not limited to lol) sexual trauma, eating disorders, self-harming, and community or familial violence. I will say this to any client - I use a human-first approach, before any diagnosis or label, you deserve goodness simply because of your pulse. I am glad you are here.
I specialize in adolescent care, substance use disorders, eating and feeding disorders, self-harming behaviors, and crisis management. I tend to use a few approaches - Systems and Narrative approaches, DBT skill sets, ACT, and integrating existential therapy practices. Our goal is to work together to create an existence you've always deserved.
My identity and passion in my career have centered on sitting within people’s hardest moments and providing support as people recognize their strength within themselves and their community. Making your brain and body home again requires permission to grieve, release, & restore pieces of who you are; you are worth every ounce of effort it takes to get there.
