Great to meet you!

I did my training with adoptees, foster care, and attachment trauma. I specialize in trauma and how early childhood trauma continues to effect us into adulthood. Since becoming a therapist, I have continued my training with trauma and have extensive experience with positive parenting, managing work/life balance, managing life's challenging transitions, managing trauma reminders, and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

I use eclectic approaches along with evidence-based models to ensure my clients feel the treatment is based on their own individual needs. I love collaborating and using concrete interventions so my clients feel as though they are leaving therapy with a toolbox of coping skills. I believe that my clients should be active participants and transparent if our approach needs to be modified. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

What you can expect from me

In my therapeutic practice I believe consistency is key to attain the goals you want in therapy. We will collaborate and my clients know what we are working on. I like to take therapy at my clients pace so my clients feel comfortable and confident in the work we do together.
