About My Clients
Does it feel like you’re your own worst critic? You might struggle to speak up for what you need, then end up feeling resentful or taken advantage of in relationships. Or you hold back at work—hesitating to go after the raise, promotion, or opportunity you deserve—because self-doubt creeps in. Even though you show up with compassion and understanding for others, it feels nearly impossible to extend the same grace to yourself.
My Background and 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.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
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.
