Great to meet you!

I have been a psychotherapist for 4 years, but before that I was a hairstylist for over 20 years. Between these 2 careers, I've talked to people from all walks of life, races, religions, cultures and socio-economic levels. I've learned to "meet people where they are," without judgement. In therapy, the work is more internal, but still same goal in a way: To look in the mirror at yourself and like or accept what you see. My focus is mostly anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. But I also have personal experience as an adoptive mom of two neurodivergent children.

My approach to therapy

I use traditional methods connecting attachment, CBT, polyvagal theory (somatic) and some "parts work." But I also have an interest in energy work, reiki, and sound healing.

What you can expect from me

I help people to identify their needs and navigate obstacles, but also to send them on their way with the tools to maintain these gains themselves.
