I work from a neurodiversity and culturally affirming perspective and specialize in the treatment of trauma through EMDR.

To me, therapy isn’t a workbook or a road map that’s the same for everyone. Therapy is about meeting you where you are. I want to learn about your unique strengths, values, goals, and struggles. I strive to support you in navigating your struggles, and in making choices in alignment with your values as you work toward your goals. I am curious about what brings you fulfillment and exploring avenues to infuse joy into your days, with a strength-based, benefit-enhancement approach. I view therapy as a collaborative process, know that you are the expert on your own experience, and meet each client as the individual you are.

You seek relief from anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma or relationship problems. You’re behaving in ways you know are unhealthy and have tried many things to help but can’t seem to get unstuck. I help you look at unhelpful behaviors with understanding and self-compassion. Together we collaborate to address areas that are out of balance or causing problems. This allows you over time to grow into your authentic self and nurture love and meaning in your life.

Life is full of curves. There is no one straight line to a meaningful happy life. I raised my family and then made my way back to college to finish my goal of completing graduate school. Most recently, my focus has been caring for older adults and working with teens struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health issues both in-person and virtual settings. I also have an advocacy background in domestic violence and sexual trauma. The process of therapy can be unpredictable, especially when you realize how strong you really are and maybe just needed a little clarity to take your next steps to a happier life!
