Take your healing to new heights. Are you seeking a space to explore the “hard stuff”? Have you been struggling to get past survival-mode living? Do you long for a genuine, authentic connection to yourself and others? I work with clients who desire to get to the root of their struggles. Whether you want to overcome your symptoms, process something difficult that has happened to you, or explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving you, I am here to help. As a trauma therapist and embodied human, I recognize the importance of bottom-up therapies, working from our visceral responses to facilitate healing and change. I am fully trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also use mindfulness techniques, parts work, and a person-centered, strength based approach. Together, we can elevate your self-work and self-worth. Let’s work together!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, we will discuss what's bringing you in to treatment and dive into the history of your mental health concerns, stressors, family, medical, and career backgrounds, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I will explain our treatment options, including EMDR, and we will collaborate on a treatment plan for the next several months. My ultimate goal in the first session is for us to build trust and a strong foundation to the therapeutic relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am fully trained and seeking certification in EMDR. For the past 5 years, I have created spaces for survivors of trauma (specifically acts of violence, DV, sexual assault/rape, and collective disasters) to share their story, process, and heal. If you have not experienced traumas listed, I’m here for you too! I thoroughly enjoy working with clients who are in life transitions (I.e. college, career changes, family shifts, etc). I also have experience working with TLGBQ folks and multi-racial clients who are exploring their identities. I am a “forever student”— always seeking consultation, attending monthly trainings, and reviewing updated research, to best serve my clients and their needs. Additionally, I provide supervision and consultation to other therapists and providers in the field.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Clients with past abuse (sexual violence, domestic violence in the home, childhood trauma, attachment trauma). I enjoy working with clients who have been in therapy but felt like they needed to explore deeper. Clients who want EMDR or want to explore getting in touch with their bodies. Clients going through life transitions such as college, marriage, or parenthood. Also enjoy working with clients with anxiety and panic disorder.
