We are born with an inherent connection to ourselves, free of judgment, guilt, or shame. Life experiences and societal expectations shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, we can develop feelings of anxiety, shame, guilt, depression, hopelessness, and isolation. These feelings block us from building and maintaining connections with our families, friends, communities, and ourselves. This isolation can lead to destructive habits and compulsions that undermine the successes we achieve.
I work with people; people experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use issues. I utilize Person-Centered and trauma-informed practices, including Trauma Focused CBT, Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
These painful experiences, feelings, and habits do not define you-you are not broken. Therapy can be a supportive environment to explore new ways of seeing and being in this world. It can give you back your innate feelings of connection and freedom. I find deep satisfaction in working with people ready to make this journey.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, trauma, and PTSD. During our initial sessions, we delve into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use CBT, Somatic, and parts work within my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and what you consider your most pressing issues, then decide the most appropriate path for you to begin. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.
