Great to meet you!

I am a California, Connecticut, and South Dakota licensed therapist who is trained in EMDR and specializes in treating trauma. I also do Expressive Arts Therapy for when words are not enough or there is a need for self-exploration and creative expression.

My approach to therapy

don't believe in a cookie cutter approach-everyone is different and that is amazing! I will find what works for you with your feedback and goals in mind.

What you can expect from me

Everyone should feel respected, safe, and cared for while going through the therapy process. Never underestimate the power of humor and kindness to bring about powerful change.
