I embody a compassionate and client-centered approach that prioritizes the unique experiences and needs of each individual or couple you work with. My therapeutic style is rooted in understanding the profound effects of trauma on relationships and personal well-being. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their feelings, experiences, and relational dynamics without fear of judgment. My attachment-based framework emphasizes the importance of secure connections in healing from trauma. I help clients recognize their attachment styles and how these patterns influence their interactions with others. By fostering awareness around these dynamics, I empower individuals to build healthier relationships. My compassion-centered approach ensures that empathy guides my interactions with clients. I strive to validate their experiences while encouraging self-compassion as we navigate challenges. My passion for facilitating growth enables me to inspire hope in my clients as they work towards healing, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life together.

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

In this first session with an individual grappling with trauma-related anxiety symptoms, my priority was establishing trust within our therapeutic relationship. With couples, both partners will have an opportunity to discuss their relationship history, including how you met, significant life events, and what led you to seek therapy.

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

I am compassionate, empathetic, understanding, approachable, responsive, and genuine. These strengths not only shape my interactions with others but also create meaningful connections that enrich both my life and the lives of those around me. Most importantly with couples I have a non biased approach and am experienced at creating a safe environment to facilitate change.

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

As a seasoned trauma and couples therapist, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. My experience with couples has equipped me with the tools to navigate the intricate dynamics that can arise in relationships. I often witness firsthand how unresolved conflicts or past traumas can create barriers to connection, and it is my passion to help partners rediscover their bond. Working extensively with veterans has deepened my understanding of trauma's profound impact on mental health and relationships. Many veterans carry invisible wounds that affect not only themselves but also their loved ones. I strive to create a safe space where they can share their experiences, process their emotions, and rebuild trust within their families. Anxiety is another area where I find myself deeply engaged. Whether in individual sessions or family counseling, I help clients identify triggers and develop coping strategies that foster emotional resilience. By integrating mindfulness techniques alongside attachment-based methods, I guide clients toward a path of healing while emphasizing the importance of connection—both with themselves and those around them. In every session, my commitment remains steadfast: to cultivate an environment rooted in compassion where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to embark on their journey toward healing together as couples or families amidst life’s complexities.
