About me
I help women and children heal from trauma and achieve goals using evidence-based techniques and creative expression.
About My Clients
I work with PTSD, Complex PTSD, substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and autism. I specialize in domestic violence, coercive control, codependency, natural disasters, family relationships, existential crisis, and caretaking for loved ones. I provide trauma-informed care in all contexts.
My Background and Approach
I present therapeutic modalities to help you resolve trauma, build self-esteem, or cope with depression. I utilize Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I take a strengths-based and Jungian approach, using archetypes and synchronicities to help you find deeper meaning.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Growing up in a dysfunctional household and struggling with mental health, I searched for help. I found a therapist who listened and held space for my pain. Through understanding myself and my environment, I gained power to change my perspective and destiny. I wanted to help others reach the same empowerment.
