About My Clients

Feeling lost? Stuck? Overwhelmed? I help those struggling with their partner or family relationships, navigating big life transitions, going through a health crisis, processing grief/loss, and living with the impacts of trauma. We will explore holistic and mindfulnessapproaches to your unique story, to help you grow your self-awareness and find more authentic ways to create a thriving life.

My Background and Approach

I am collaborative, conversational, directive, and bring humor in my sessions. I use a trauma informed lens to help you better understand how the body responds to stress/safety so that you develop curiosity and self-compassion vs. shame and guilt. My approach utilizes CBT, ACT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Solutions Focused therapy, and relational therapy. While beginning therapy can often feel intimidating, I want you to feel confident starting with an initial consultation call. I will uphold a welcoming therapeutic space to learn of the shame, pain, and wounding potential clients have experienced.
