About My Clients
I specialize in working with women who have experienced relational or family trauma, learn to set boundaries, cope with possible family estrangement, and manage the “newness” around being a "cycle breaker" and developing healthier family dynamics and relationships for themselves. I also help women who are experiencing motherhood for the first time, anxiety, & stress. If you are feeling the heaviness of working through relational trauma or past trauma, you are not alone, and I can help.
My Background and Approach
I have 8 years experience working in the field. It has been such a privilege helping those in the community, school, home and private practice settings. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, connection and strength-based principals with a person-centered foundation. I would say a lot of my work is focused relational, IFS and attachment therapy. I hold certificates in trauma, treatment and recovery and Child and Family Therapy. I am IFS informed, and have completed advanced training in maternal mental health through postpartum support international. My goal for you is to embrace life to the fullest, to leave sessions feeling more connected and secure with yourself, those around you and your environments, without any shame or doubt. I want you to discover new connections, feel grounded and confident, and develop skills and tools that bring you relief when you are feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious or lost. In therapy with me, we will do just that.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy is for everyone. We all have been through some tough times and could use some support. The importance of connection to yourself, to others and the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation of my work. With the right supports, the right therapist, you can gain confidence, you can overcome past traumas, you can feel comfortable in your body. I often find folks feeling or believing that if they grew up in a dysfunctional home, or with abusive or neglectful parents that their future is already laid out for them.. and they were cheated from a childhood. They spent years learning unhealthy habits, not learning how to love themselves, love others properly, communicate effectively or feel secure within themselves. They spent so much time walking on eggshells and trying to control those around them, they never learned how to just "be" and be peacefully. I can help you with that. You can break from old patterns, learned behaviors and feel secure.
