I provide care for a diverse clientele dealing with a wide array of mental health challenges. I specialize working with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma/ PTSD, transitions, grief, and loss. My expertise lies in the treatment of trauma and PTSD, primarily utilizing Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR therapy is a relatively brief and non-invasive treatment method that utilizes bilateral stimulation such as rapid eye movement, alternating sounds, or movement to activate the brains innate healing processes.

I believe that the therapeutic process is individually unique- not a cookie cutter approach. I customize our work together using a solution focused, strengths based and person-centered approach. I also draw from evidence based therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment-based interventions to provide structure to help in understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I like to get a little creative too by adding creative and play therapy interventions because sometimes words just aren’t enough – sometimes we need to paint, sculpt, or play our way to healing.

I embarked on this journey because I firmly believe in the sacred nature of healing, where every individual's journey holds significance. As a therapist, witnessing people's transformation and growth firsthand is immensely gratifying and reaffirms the profound privilege it is to walk this journey with my clients.

I have experience working in the home-based and school based therapeutic settings as well as in an outpatient setting at a community mental health center. Through these environments, I gained an understanding of how trauma and hard things impact individuals and families. I have been working in private practice for several years and continue to bring my passion for people, connection, and emotional understanding to the people I have a privilege to work with every day.
