Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Violet, a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience helping individuals to find hope and healing to overcome all of life’s challenges. Whether it be grief, loss, life changes and transitions, anxiety or trauma, relationship concerns, parenting struggles or family conflict, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. I specialize in working with anxiety/trauma, infertility, new parents, and pregnancy/postpartum concerns.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative approach in therapy, starting where you are and working together to make positive changes. You are in the driver's seat and help to establish meaningful goals for your treatment.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I also consider the important role of our mind-body connection.

I practice strengths-based, person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, TF-CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Each session, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where you are able to decide the focus of our session. During that hour we will spend time exploring and processing your concerns, while also developing helpful skills to calm your body and mind. These skills will help you to feel more in control of your thoughts and feelings, and better able to cope with life’s challenges outside of the therapy session.
