I began my journey towards the art of healing through therapy after working in community mental health where I recognized how active listening matched with providing tools of healing and hope helped to change people's lives. I believe that individuals have the potential within themselves to discover their own healing journey. My therapeutic style is eclectic, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused care, narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy. I believe that I bring a unique voice of care in working with survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking.

My focus is truly about helping people. We all experience challenges in our lives and feel out of balance from time to time. I believe my role is to help people identify challenges and discover methods to address those challenges-returning balance in their lives. I have treated adolescents, adults and the geriatric population- both in the hospital setting and in general practice. Recently, I completed a certificate course in Sports Social Work. This has expanded my practice to include a special focus for athletes, not only to enhance performance but to address specific needs of athletes.

The impact of society as well as the cultural expectation to discover on our sense of self can be disheartening.

Thich Nhat Hanh said, "The present moment contains past and future. The secret to transformation is in the way we handle this very moment." I believe the best, most immediate, steps on the path to health and wellness for the mind, body, and spirit begin with the present journey inward. By better understanding and honoring ourselves, we can live more genuine, self-actualized lives. In finding compassion for ourselves, we can manifest greater compassion for others through the choices we make and how we communicate. Our greatest ally in having a rich and fulfilling life is found within. This is the essence of my clinical work with you.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.
