About me
Trauma often leaves us vulnerable, sensitive, and struggling to trust. You may feel as though if you want to belong, you can never be your true self. Your body holds onto your experiences long after the events have passed. Trauma may have caused you to wear a mask - to keep your true self safe and hidden. But if you feel suffocated, lost and disconnected by your mask, confused about who you are - you are welcome here in every way - this is right where you belong. I specialize in trauma work and child-parent attachment to help individuals and families who are struggling with connection to lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
I am passionate about working with individuals, families and children who are in crisis, have a history of trauma, abuse and neglect, are dealing with parenting challenges, attachment, grief and loss, adoption, caregiver fatigue, family dynamics, daily-living tasks, and stress management. I use an eclectic approach of EMDR, DBT, and TF-CBT. I value a dynamic and personalized approach to therapy and I value your role in the therapeutic process. You are the expert of your own life. My goal is to foster a safe environment where you can feel comfortable sharing without fear or judgement. I am here to walk alongside and support you in new and creative ways and empower you when life is difficult.
