Overview

As a therapist, I have worked with folks struggling with life transitions, mood disorders, complex trauma/PTSD, and family issues. I have a passion for working with clients healing from intergenerational trauma and wanting to catch their body up with their mind; teaching the body that it is now safe in the present and no longer needs to live in survival mode.

I often use a somatic therapy called Lifespan Integration for trauma processing, as well as DBT in my practice. I find DBT is helpful if you are wanting to learn practical skills to enhance your overall wellbeing in day to day life. These skills include mindfulness, processing and regulating emotions, and how to effectively communicate your needs to others.

I am human centered in my approach. I will walk alongside you to help you safely explore your inner world, while drawing from your own unique strengths and worldview to foster healing. I truly believe a strong therapeutic alliance is the most healing aspect of therapy.
