About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Trying to make sense of past trauma or current life stressors? Or looking for healthier ways to cope with distressing emotions? I am here to help. I can assist you in developing insight & coping strategies to address your particular struggles.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is holistic and tailored to each individual as I draw from Internal Family Systems, polyvagal theory, creative/arts-based expression, & mind-body healing. Most of my career I have provided therapy to survivors of sexual and relationship violence at nonprofit crisis centers, and it has been an honor to support survivors through their healing journeys. I completed an Advanced Trauma Certificate Program through the Ferentz Institute. I have extensive experience in providing Cognitive Processing Therapy for survivors of complex trauma and/or adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and Prolongued Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also completed the Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Certificate program through UMB: Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and also work in the field of Special Education and School Social Work.
