As your therapist, I view myself as both witness and teacher. I have the privilege of bearing witness to your experiences and holding space for all the emotions that accompany them. Sadness, anger, joy, fear are all welcome here. When we do the work of really trying to understand ourselves fully, we learn how to respect ourselves and teach others to do the same. It is my desire to help you discover who you are, sort through hurts / traumas that continue to affect you in the present, and learn to live in alignment with your values and priorities so that you can flourish personally and relationally.
I bring my knowledge and skills with somatic / polyvagal approaches, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative and inner child work, and trauma-informed care to support you. I am Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems informed, which are two tremendous modalities for processing trauma and past wounds.
Let’s build a safe space together where you can identify your symptoms and needs and find the best path forward. We can work together to determine the right tools and modalities for this endeavor.
