I love providing a safe and brave space for those who are navigating grief, trauma, depression, life transitions, identity, and inherited legacy burdens. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I feel called to not only work with your symptoms but also your social symbols that influence how you move in the world. Trauma is political. I primarily use and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems therapy. These powerful modalities help release, process, and make sense of the mental and physical effects of traumatic events stored in the body, depression, poor self-image, etc., along with unearthing new ways of living.

My style is rooted in intuitive knowledge with a firm belief that people have the innate wisdom and ability to help themselves arrive at healing. I am very collaborative, holistic, and solution-focused. I work with clients to truly heal and operate from their highest selves. This often includes going deep to uncover what’s beneath the surface and giving a voice and space to what needs to be heard. You are not something that’s broken and needs to be fixed. It’s not about stopping the waves, it’s about learning how to surf.

Clients can expect from me a therapist who is not going to just affirm everything they are saying while nodding their head. They can expect to build awareness, gain insight, and discover ways to move through blockages. Clients will learn how to utilize their values and strengths to make decisions, break unhealthy learned behaviors, and set solid boundaries.
