I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

My clients ages range from 13 - 65+ and come from all walks of life with varying difficulties that arise from the human condition. It is my goal to work along side you to help you navigate life's struggles and develop the skills you need.

Approaches used are (CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Gottman Method and Play Therapy) effective with children, adolescents and adults.

Life can throw a number of curve-balls our way. Sometimes these experiences are manageable, but often they bring up a number of feelings, thoughts, and reactions that impact our daily functioning. Perhaps you are struggling with infertility, grief/loss, the challenges of pregnancy + new parenthood, or postpartum anxiety/depression. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the narrative it deserves. Or are experiencing stress from a new life transition. Whatever it might be, I offer a collaborative, safe, and supportive environment to find the solutions that best meet your needs.

Have you been affected by trauma or loss? Are you struggling with high anxiety? Are you having intrusive thoughts, nightmares, always on alert or easily startled? Does your mind churn at night? Let's work through this. Everyone has the capacity for change. Sometimes it is difficult to see how that change can happen and it leaves us feeling stuck. There is no single way to go through life and that means that different treatments will work for different people. Everyone deserves a safe place in therapy.
