You're sick of waiting. It's time to treat your mental health as if it were a knife in your arm; you deserve immediate and careful attention. You need someone who will challenge and support you, someone who can share the load. You want to confront your issues head-on, knowing that it might not always be pretty. But you are worth it, whether you believe it or not. It is time to dive deep, prioritize your mental health, and find relief. Reclaim your voice, reclaim your body. If you're looking to get to work, look no further.
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced acute trauma, abuse, and/or neglect. I utilize direct trauma-centered psychotherapy and/or drama therapy to help my clients become more comfortable with the uncomfortable.
It's time to prioritize yourself. Are you ready to take dramatic action?

I utilize a direct, trauma-centered psychotherapy method that focuses on the immediate and detailed acknowledgement of experienced harm. Through the identification of schemas that were developed in states of intense activation, my clients become more aware of the negative patterns of behavior that are impacting them in the present.
