About My Clients

My background is in working with adults who have a history of traumatic experiences and may be facing addiction or substance use concerns, trauma-related symptoms, stress, and life transitions. I work with people who are looking for support with the sometimes very deep emotional pain these experiences can bring. I am passionate about helping people stabilize and find relief from feeling stuck or hopeless. I also work with other professionals in the human services field.

My Background and Approach

My approach integrates body-based practices, parts work, and cognitive behavioral therapy whole-person healing. My experience includes work in private practice, group homes, shelters, addiction treatment programs, and supportive housing programs. I meet clients where they are, offer a nonjudgmental presence and respect for each person and all of their parts.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that people can change even the most ingrained patterns. No matter how long you've been struggling, there is hope for healing! Sometimes we all need support to overcome challenges, and therapy can be one such support.
