It is an incredible privilege to be trusted with the stories of brave souls as they work through some of the most difficult parts of life.

In therapy, I will meet you where you are, and get a sense for where you would prefer to be. My approach is not “one size fits all.” I strive to get a full picture of how each of my clients experience their roadblocks and will work with them to think outside the box, approach things from various viewpoints, and expand their capacity to reclaim their positive control. Therapy should be effective and enjoyable.

My area of expertise is centered in trauma. Trauma comes in many forms including medical trauma, interpersonal trauma, religious trauma, abuse, complicated grief, preverbal trauma, and complex long-term trauma.

I also have experience working with anxiety and panic, difficult life transitions, shame and self-worth, postpartum difficulties, and phobias. I am trained in EMDR and certified in Brainspotting and hold certifications in telehealth interventions and a certification in compassion fatigue.

I have training in Complex PTSD, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Polyvagal Therapies, and somatic processing.

Before opening my own private practice I worked in a variety of therapeutic settings that focused on traumatic abuse therapy. I have served as a Clinical Director of a rape crisis agency which allowed me to supervise a staff of eleven therapists and interns.
