Anxiety and Trauma

Great to meet you!

I worked with veterans in residential treatment and clients experiencing crises at an inpatient psychiatric hospital before transitioning to the private practice setting about three years ago.

My experience has given me a unique perspective about the impact of negative life experiences on a person's health and wellbeing. I am passionate about providing the space and tools to help clients heal from these experiences and restore balance in their lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a combination of EMDR and IFS, supplemented with a personality framework called the Enneagram to offer a holistic, trauma informed therapeutic approach.

What you can expect from our first session

Life can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, out of control, and stuck. Whether you are currently navigating a difficult situation or feel that you've been struggling for a while - you deserve to heal.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss your current stressors and wellness goals. My goal is to offer you a safe and compassionate environment to explore and address life’s challenges and their impact on your wellbeing.
