My website
I am a passionate and dedicated counselor who longs to see healing and redemption in the lives of the wounded and the broken. My clients are those who have experienced trauma, abuse, and suffering resulting in anxiety, depression, dissociation, addictions, eating disorders, mood disorders, and more. My clients often have little awareness of just how resilient and courageous they are, but enduring and surviving trauma is not an easy thing. It is my greatest honor to walk alongside survivors as they fight for hope and healing and learn to view themselves in a new and beautiful light.
When working with individuals I maintain an attachment lens, while utilizing a combination of narrative/story work, parts work (Internal Family systems), and somatic based interventions to provide holistic healing. When working with couples I utilize a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method interventions to foster secure attachment.
Beginning therapy for the first time or the 10th time can feel intimidating and overwhelming, so I am committed to doing what I can to make the process feel easier and more approachable. I would love to talk with you to answer any questions you may have and to discover how I can walk alongside you on your road to healing.

My speciality is complex trauma - those life stories that are difficult to concisely explain, but are instead multi-layered with nuance and often deep areas of wounding. I am not afraid to take time, dig deep, and work to unravel the stories, heal areas in which there has been harm, and uncover areas of strength and resiliency not yet discovered.

I believe the client is the expert on themselves. I therefore strive to learn from the client and tailor my approach to individual needs. During a therapy session with me you will notice we will often start with story and narrative work to understand what has led you to where you are while integrating parts work (or Internal Family Systems) and somatic based techniques to work toward healing.
