My trauma-informed approach invites a space of safety, warmth, and authenticity where we navigate issues and process emotions together to enhance resiliency, trust, and self-worth. It is my hope that therapy and our therapeutic alliance will provide you with opportunity for healing, empowerment, and re-authoring of life stories for positive change and growth toward personal fulfillment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families seeking to process through various struggles and difficulties using evidence-based treatments.
My approach is relational and attachment-based as relationships and connections are crucial to mental and emotional well-being. Our work together includes exploring and openly processing experiences, building effective coping strategies, promoting secure relationships, increasing mind-body connection and achieving new levels of self-awareness and growth.
It takes courage and vulnerability to share your story. I am honored to be able to walk alongside those I work with as they move through their healing journey. I believe that anyone attending counseling is an expert on their own story, and I am committed to collaborating with you to learn how to best help reach your desired goals.
