With a holistic approach, I am a trauma-informed clinician with the ability to treat a variety of issues including grief, chronic stress, life transitions, and various types of trauma - with a special interest in healing attachment and relational trauma (physical/ sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, bullying, childhood trauma).

I strive to work with you, to help you feel heard, and to discover new tools or ways of thinking in order to become unstuck and move forward.
