Great to meet you!

I have obtained a BS in Psychology and Masters in Social Work with a clinical focus.

I have found myself working with a wide range of struggles I see clients coming in with, but am most interested in “complex trauma”. As the term suggests, this type of trauma is complex, having occurred more than once, and over time impacting many areas of an individual’s life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The purpose of therapy is to create a safe space to explore struggles an individual experiences often that negatively impact one’s life; where it came from, what keeps it going, and how to overcome them. I have learned three of the most important parts therapy needs to work is mutual trust from the client and therapist, effort, and consistency. With these, those struggles can be overcome.

What you can expect from our first session

Individuals can expect to collaborate on treatment planning during the therapeutic process.
