Great to meet you!

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. I work with clients healing from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

My approach to therapy

We know that our brains and bodies when given the chance want to find healing, and my goal as a therapist is to empower clients through relational and body-based treatments to rebuild the relationship with themselves and others. I specialize in trauma-informed treatment and use therapies that help us to release trauma and stress held in our bodies in order to support healing (including EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.)

What you can expect from me

I hope to collaborate with clients to set the kinds of goals you want to meet as a result of our work. We all develop tools - heathy or otherwise - to get us through hard times. When we honor the wisdom of these tools - though they may no longer be serving us - we can begin to explore and embody new, more adaptive ways of being in the world that help us to meet the challenges and opportunities of the present moment. I hope to partner with you in this work.
