About me
I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years dedicated to helping individuals and couples recover from Trauma. I specialize in relational, childhood, sexual, and masking trauma. I am collaborator, teacher, guide, supporter, co-regulator, and your biggest fan :)
I am a curious, empathic, skilled, honest, kind, and sometimes silly therapist. I value safety, authentic connection and trust building. My approach is eclectic, combining challenging our sometimes unkind thinking and self talk with listening to and regulating our bodies for mind/body/spirit whole wellness. I am Neurodiverse-affirming, Strength-based, and Compassion-focused. I specialize in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( I like the structure of it). I am certified as a Clinical Trauma Specialist and Autism Spectrum Certified Specialist. I enjoy sharing my gathered knowledge and experience of over 20 years to help you learn some skills, tools, strategies, and hacks to manage self care. Sometimes you will even get silly anecdotes. I truly believe we are all in this human experience together . I am a hope holder. I believe trust must be earned. I will meet you where you are, and provide a safe space to just be. We will create a practical safe personalized plan of healing and growth. I offer a 15 minute FREE video consult on my website so we can meet to see if we are a good fit...( and prove I am a real person :) before we began working together. If we are not a good fit I can offer referrals for someone who may be. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
