About My Clients

If you've experienced some form of trauma in your life or simply finding yourself going through a hard time - due to anxiety, depression, life transitions, etc. - you are in the right place. YOU have the knowledge and power to make the positive changes you seek in your life. You've gotten to this point and made the tough choice to enter therapy, and I would be more than happy to help direct you to discover how to use your experiences and other tools to get to where you want to be in your life.

My Approach to Helping

You are the expert in you, I just bring my knowledge and experience to see how we can work together to make positive changes in your life. I focus on utilizing EMDR, ERP, Solution Focused Therapy, a splash of CBT and IFS, and a healthy dose of sarcasm to help my clients find meaning and make positive changes in their lives. I've worked with people of varied backgrounds and from diverse situations - children, adolescents, adults, couples and groups; traumas caused by child abuse/neglect, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, bullying, human trafficking, incarceration, and the refugee experience; and, anxiety and depression caused by trauma, uncertainty, life transitions and identity transformations. I would love to use this experience to help you realize your strength and resilience, and help you to become the person you wish to be.

My Values as a Therapist

I truly believe that each individual person has the tools to cope with their situation and is more resilient than they would believe. I also believe that without kindness and without the ability to laugh at ourselves and our situations, it becomes much more difficult to cope. I am fiercely determined to enable everyone to feel safe, to see hope, to be seen, to think outside the box and to be a little silly at least some of the time. Where I see injustice, I will fight for it. We all have the right to be safe, healthy, fed, housed, and believed. Regardless of your place of birth, family of origin, gender identity, sexual identity, race, religion, age, background, past mistakes, or beliefs, you are worthy of respect, love and kindness.
