If you're carrying something from childhood that's still shaping how you show up at work, in your relationships, or in your own skin, you're not alone. A lot of the adults I work with grew up in homes where something wasn't right and never had the space to process it. I help survivors of sexual abuse, problematic sexual behaviors, adults with unresolved childhood trauma, and clients navigating depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. In session, I'm direct, warm, and not easily shocked. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and schema work to help rebuild the beliefs you formed when you were too young to know better. I'm continuing my training through doctoral study in Community Care and Counseling with a focus in Traumatology, which keeps the work I do with you grounded in the most current research on trauma recovery.

My early career was in forensic work, which gave me a clinical understanding of how sexual harm is learned and passed on. That perspective shapes how I work with survivors today, with a deep belief that what happened to you doesn't define what's possible for you. In session, I'm direct, warm, and not easily shocked. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and schema work to help rebuild the beliefs you formed when you were too young to know better.

In our first session, I'll do whatever I can to help you feel relaxed and safe. I lean on humor and easy conversation, and you set the pace on what you share. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping for, and the goals that matter to you. You don't need a script. My job is to listen and help you start moving forward.
