Great to meet you!

My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event, and uncovering obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential. Utilizing a trauma informed and empathic approach I incorporate various interventions tailored specifically to meet my client’s individual needs using psychotherapy, solution focused interventions, mindfulness practices, crisis intervention, insight oriented techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapies.

My approach to therapy

I believe in being kind towards oneself. Life is hard and I understand how trauma can paralyze growth and create negative thoughts and behaviors, coloring every avenue of a person’s life. With compassion and understanding, I provide a direct and honest approach, often delivered with humor, allowing clients to access meaning and lightness, and finding freedom from the weight of trauma.

What you can expect from me

I focus on my clients specific needs and goals, providing empathic listening with a warm, direct, and humorous approach. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to share their experiences, so they can break through barriers, growing toward a life of balance and joy. My goal is for my clients to heal, grow, and thrive.
