Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Art's Degree in Clinical Psychology. I'm deeply passionate about both empowering and helping others to heal and grow. I’ve been in the mental health field for over 18 years and feel that the work that I do is indeed my life purpose I specialize in trauma and like to work from a holistic lens of care. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Hypnosis for Trauma & PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). I’m also a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP), Trauma Informed Yoga.

My approach to therapy

I'm all about honoring my client's healing process and meeting them where they are at. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment, and work collaboratively to assist with processing some of life's most stressful and traumatic issues/events. I want my clients to have the important human experience of being heard, understood and validated, while ultimately encouraging each individual to be their best, most authentic, higher-self.

What you can expect from me

My hope in our first session is to establish as safe space and to collaboratively cultivate a plan of action that best supports your individual needs. We will work as a team to face your challenges and improve your quality of life. I truly look forward to hopefully having the privilege of working closely with you and being a part of your life’s journey.
