When experiencing significant life changes, living as a survivor, or processing the impact of the past, it can feel impossible to be your true self...together we will find your voice and build a sense of empowerment.

About Me

Having begun my career as a rape crisis advocate, I have worked with and learned from survivors of trauma for many years. This experience has allowed me to create multiple protocols for treating trauma, anxiety and their after-effects, including PTSD, depression, physical pain, negative self worth and addiction. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Addictions-Informed Professional, I am active in the field and frequently attend workshops and seminars to maintain my familiarity with cutting-edge techniques. I believe we are never done learning, and I am invested in my continual growth as a therapist. I strongly believe in inclusivity and work hard to make my practice a safe place for everyone. With me you will find a safe sounding board to process and explore any areas of need. Together we will create a treatment plan tailored specifically for you, in order to help you navigate and manage current challenges and stressors.

Approach

Clients come to me looking for someone who isn’t cold and clinical, but instead creates a space where they feel safe opening up about some of the most raw parts of their lives. I will help you break down the negative thought patterns that are holding you back, build healthy coping skills, and finally create a sense of balance in your life. I specialize in helping clients build confidence and self-worth while addressing the deeper struggles that feed perfectionism, shame, and self-doubt. In our work together, we’ll dig into the roots of these self-critical patterns—early experiences, societal pressures, painful relationships, or unresolved trauma—and begin rewriting the script. With me, you will be met with compassion, understanding, and respect. As a therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, and EMDR, I have the expertise you need to get on the road to the relief, peace, and fulfillment you deserve.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or defeat as a result of trauma or a significant life change? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, assault, or other traumatic experience. You may feel unsafe & out of control of your life or emotions, anxious about even the smallest things, or like you just can’t find your footing. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life: your relationships, work, and decisions about the future. And yet, despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.
