I have been practicing in the mental health field for several years working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, existential concerns, and other mental health issues. I specialize in working with individuals across the disability spectrum: those who deal with psychological, cognitive, neurological, physical, and intellectual disabilities. I live with a spinal cord injury and identify as an individual with a disability which allows me the privilege to make a deeper connection with those who deal with chronic conditions that may impede on their desired quality of life.

It’s true, life can be painful and even very unfair.

My goal is to help you accept your whole being so that your best self can foster positive relationships and create a life of joy and purpose.

I offer support by using therapeutic models including IFS, grief/loss/bereavement specific interventions, CBT, DBT, and several other ways to process your experience.
Life can be hard, can cause twists, turns, and sometimes unexpected trauma happens to us or those we love. This can include grief and loss, particularly painful when it involves loss of a child or fertility loss. That is where good therapy is key to relieving the pain and understanding how to process such abstract emotions that often consume our entirety. I specialize in helping adults navigate such hurtles, particularly those attached to fertility related trauma, infant loss/miscarriage, traumatic births, postpartum depression/anxiety and bereavement. I welcome all those who seek support; therapy is hard, but you are here.

I use a blend of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness cultivation, depth psychology, and attachment theory in my work with clients, with a particular focus on building awareness of the myriad ways that relational trauma in early childhood can manifest later in life, and ways to work toward healing these wounds.
You may be grieving a loss, struggling to move forward, or caught in a seemingly intractable conflict within yourself or with others in your life. You may feel stuck in place, trapped in old habits, or merely surviving when you want to thrive. Whether your concerns are big-picture or small, I believe in the power of connecting deeply and authentically with others to bring about the truest expression of ourselves. I've found success guiding others with this relationship-based, trauma-focused approach, and I'm confident that together we can bring into being your most authentic self.

I incorporate a model of treatment that includes cognitive modalities, emotional regulation, stress management, coping skills, behavior modification, and ways to address the unconscious processes and how they express themselves.
Establishing a sense of wholeness and direction in our lives is often revealed once obstacles are known and cleared. This process of self discovery is far more potent and transformational when working with a therapist who can help navigate these unfamiliar places. My practice is largely informed by the personal experience of profound grief. Journeying through these difficult waters allows me to uniquely empathize and assist my clients through life struggles and losses.
