My background is in clinical mental health, writing, and teaching. I specialize in treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, ADHD, infertility, grief and loss, life transitions, and recovery from narcissistic abuse.
My most important job as a therapist is to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to share their stories. Then I work with them to set goals for healing that align with their needs. I draw from trauma-informed counseling theories, including psychodynamic, narrative, schema, attachment-based, and acceptance and commitment therapies.
Clients can expect to leave feeling heard, affirmed, and challenged to think about themselves and their perspectives more compassionately. They can expect to gain insight into the origins of long-held patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that may be hurting them in the present moment. They can also expect to learn new ways of seeing themselves, their feelings, and their choices that can help them heal and flourish.
