About me

Experiencing challenges, life transitions, trauma, heartbreak, confusion, and pain without good support can keep us from living and growing well. I have a passion for people not feeling alone, learning how to own their life, helping people develop resilience and wanting clients to feels seen and heard. I use the principles of narrative focused trauma care, CBT, relational psycho-dynamic therapy, attachment theory, and a system theory framework to collaborate with clients looking for care and support. With kindness, I invite clients to be curious about themselves, how they got to where they find themselves today, and their imagination for the future. My direct, yet curious and empathetic demeanor invites clients towards building lives of connection, hope, and wholeness. As we navigate the joys and pains of being human, I would be honored to join you on your journey towards resilience, redemption, and freedom.
