Great to meet you!

In the first sessions we will focus on exploring your needs and wants for therapy and gathering information, while getting to know each other. Based on your needs we will then discuss treatment types. I often find that I will take pieces of various therapy models and implement them into the work we do together.

My approach to therapy

I am trauma informed and client centered. My approach has always been to take the lead of the client, actively listen and seek to understand. I work with you. I have worked with adults and children who have experienced victimization, grief and loss, adjustments to change (Divorce, Job Loss, Relocation), military, family court systems. I am trained in EMDR and Non Directed Play Therapy.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to leave session feeling heard, seen and supported.
