Great to meet you!

My experience is working with children, adolescents and adults who may have suffered from a trauma in their life, such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc. I work with children, adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety and transitions in their lives. I work with moms in both pre- and postpartum, as well as throughout to work with the challenges that accompany motherhood.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is holistic with a specialization of trauma. While working with clients it’s important to create a space for them to feel safe to be themselves. I think the most important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in meeting each client where they are every time we meet. I believe in seeing a person as a whole and finding strengths in every situation. I am passionate about helping clients take control of their lives and feeling empowered.
