I have been formally trained in two different evidenced-based therapeutic approaches that treat trauma: Psychodynamic Theory and Trauma Focused CBT.
I am passionate about making mental health care more accessible, especially for those who have experienced complex trauma throughout their life. Being a trauma survivor myself, I am deeply aware of the way that trauma impacts our minds and bodies. I, more specifically, work with individuals who have experienced: sexual trauma, relational trauma, and religious trauma. I aim to meet you where you're at in your healing process whether that is page 1 or page 1000. My goal is to ultimately empower you to take control of your mental health through finding your own healing.

As a licensed clinical social worker who practices psychotherapy with warmth and curiosity, I help clients reflect, heal, build on their strengths, and enact positive change. I work collaboratively with clients in an open, safe environment that allows them to give voice to and explore their many parts. Over the course of treatment, they often discover new ways of relating to others and to themselves.

I often treat adolescents and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as couples and families grappling with interpersonal struggles. Extensive training and experience in trauma-focused therapy allows me to help clients process and heal from painful experiences, and has shown me how profoundly life experience can shape one's view of themselves and their world. For those suffering from anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns, I find that I work best with those who prefer an engaging, solution-focused approach.

Are you feeling "stuck," indecisive, depressed, or anxious? We all face life difficulties that limit our skills and tools for managing our emotions, reducing symptoms, building relationships, and having a sense of self-worth. Understanding, learning what is happening in your brain, and practicing skills and coping mechanisms are vital to living a worthwhile life. I have spent the last few years assisting clients, building their toolbox, understanding the emotional system, and improving their lives.
