I specialize in working with survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and trauma — primarily women who are in the process of reclaiming their lives after experiencing something that was done to them without their consent. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside and dealing with significant pain privately. Seven years of this work has taught me that healing is not linear, and it requires a therapist who can sit with complexity without rushing to fix it.
I use CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), DBT, CBT, and Experiential Therapy — evidence-based approaches that are specific to trauma and effective for the clients I work with. I don't believe in cookie-cutter treatment. We build a plan based on your specific history, your goals, and what you're ready for. I bring warmth and directness in equal measure.
In our first session, I want to hear your story — as much or as little as you're ready to share. We'll establish what feels most pressing and start building a sense of safety and trust. You won't be pushed to go faster than you're ready. Most clients tell me they leave the first session feeling like something heavy got slightly lighter — and that's enough for day one.
