About My Clients

My clients want to search deeper into their understanding of their patterns within relationships, heal old and current wounds that exist, and delve deeper into the systems they are a part of.

My Background and Approach

Therapy is a collaborative process with individuals and families that comes from a place of earned trust and safety. I focus my therapeutic work through a relational and attachment lens, while also teaching clients skills and techniques to help cope. I help to guide individuals through understanding relational patterns and attachment across the lifespan. I strive to be culturally responsive and believe that culture is an area to be explored as it relates to each individual and the systems they are a part of. The majority of my practice is with individuals and families who have complex trauma. I also work with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and with caregivers on attachment. I am trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and a registered Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) therapist. I am also a member of PSYPACT.
