I feel the client is the expert on themselves, thus, I believe in a client centered approach. My passion is guiding those with trauma to heal whether the trauma is a simple trauma or complex. I utilize various modalities depending on the individual and the circumstances. I have treated severe trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, dual diagnosed patients, families, couples, and other client centered issues.

I value cultivating an open and trusting therapeutic relationship with the individuals I work with. Through a warm and collaborative approach, my clients are encouraged to build greater self-understanding and compassion for who they are and how they move around in the world. Together, we explore meaningful insights around defenses, thought processes, and emotional responses, and work to unravel reoccurring patterns that seem to get in the way of personal growth and transformation.

Often, there’s a quiet weight being carried; stress, self-doubt, relationship strain, or emotions that feel difficult to manage. On the outside, life may look capable and steady; internally, self-criticism can be loud. Transitions, shifting family dynamics, or a sense of disconnection can add to that strain. There’s a desire for practical tools, but also space to pause and reflect. At the core is a hope to feel steadier, more confident, and more self-compassionate while building a life that feels intentional and aligned with personal values

I enjoy working with teenagers and adults of various backgrounds. I connect with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem, relationships with others, and trauma. I use a variety of techniques and modalities that are best fit for each person to help clients reclaim their narratives, deconstruct the systems that contributed to their current struggles, and embrace their inner strength. While our work together may involve some gentle challenges, it is always empathetic and collaborative. Together, we will help build the confidence and empowerment you are (and always have been) worthy of.

I could throw a lot of buzzwords at you about holistic care, mindfulness, and wellness but you've likely read enough of that by the time you've gotten here.

My goal is for you to show up each session willing to dive deep and make those shifts.
