It takes courage to seek therapy. I'm passionate about how the power of therapy can restore lives in vibrant ways, like it did my own. I've been working in the helping field for 25+ years as a social worker, with a focus on developmental trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and healing from abuse and abandonment. I enjoy supporting couples as well as individuals. Research shows it's never too late to repair our nervous systems and lives. My goal is to not just help you heal trauma triggers, but retrain mind & body for a new sense of safety and connection. I personalize a blend of "trauma informed" practices, using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and IFS. You will find me caring, supportive, and interested in you. I want you to feel safe and comfortable. Together, we'll personalize a blend of practices, verbal & nonverbal, to work at the pace and style that fit you best. The safety and connection of our therapeutic relationship will be the foundation, no matter what style you choose to explore.
