You've already succeeded, you took the first step, you reached out to find solutions to the unsettling emotions/ issues you've been experiencing. As a Marriage/Family therapist, EMDR and SE trauma specialist, I work with you collaboratively, advocating and supporting you to strengthen your voice and become more assertive in your life. I often work with clients that feel stuck, helping them create a life that is vibrant and alive. Imagine being present without needing to numb the pain when triggers or challenges arise. Let me guide you whether as an individual a couple or family. In sessions we'll decode emotional patterns, clarify systems that developed and strengthen the family's communication skills to enhance unity by enbracing eachother's differences. Somaticlly trained, I work with spectrum/bipolar/PTSD disorders; increasing awareness of the nervous system/sensory integration/social skills that need boosting for connection. When advocating for survivors of abuse I often see survivors in the most distant places becoming alive again. I have supported them in rebuilding their identity and trust while relearning to connect in a grounded way. Sessions always incorporate the mind and body.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will collaborate and make a tailored treatment plan designed to meet your goals. I give a brief psycho-education on how I can be the most helpful with the training I have. I will always ask, why now? and what are your best hopes for this time together?
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I walk alongside you and provide you with the tools and skills to move forward in your life. I care for each one of my clients and know it is a privilege to share in their journey. I value honest feedback, reliability, and trust.
