Living with a chronic illness or the effects of trauma can feel isolating, overwhelming and exhausting. When your body and mind both carry heavy burdens, it’s easy to be misunderstood, even by those closest to you. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who are navigating chronic medical conditions, invisible illnesses and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For those living with PTSD trauma may show up as intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness or difficulty feeling safe in your own body.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to explain or defend your experience. My style is warm, compassionate and practical. I incorporate the Polyvagal Theory in my practice and I am trauma informed. I am also a trauma survivor.

In our first session I will focus on getting to you know you, your strengths and your goals for therapy.
