Great to meet you!

I am a Brainspotting-trained psychotherapist and certified social worker with more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field. As a therapist, I have worked with individuals aged 12-62 in a variety of settings and with a variety of mental health-related needs. I currently focus on working with individuals with single-incident or complex trauma, eating disorders, athletes with performance-related mental blocks, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The feedback I most commonly hear from my colleagues and clients alike is that I am authentic and down-to-earth. I consider it a privilege to walk with clients on their journeys to self-discovery and healing, and I hope that you feel safe and connected in your sessions.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to take away a better understanding of their own thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as skills with which to facilitate the change and healing they seek. For more information, please visit my website, https://IlluminateMentalHealth.com/
