I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 13 years of experience working with children (age range 0-18) and their families. My recent focus has been trauma and Infant Mental Health, providing dyadic treatment to families. I am a trauma informed clinician with an attachment based lens. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Child Parent Psychotherapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I want to know what brings you in for treatment. Why now? I like to start with building a relationship with my clients. This is a time we both get to see if we are a good fit for each other. I do ask lots of questions about your past to see what type of treatment you would benefit from.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths is my compassion and genuine human capacity to building a trusting relationship.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have a passion working with families, parents with young children (ages 0-6 years old). Every family has their own story and struggles. It is my job to walk with you during your journey navigating parenting and mental health. I also find that my parents' past comes into play and providing treatment to the parent to address their anxiety, depression, trauma and fears from their past is part of the healing for the whole family. I love working with individual that want to gain more insight into their own emotional struggles.

I understand how trauma can impact a person starting in utero to adulthood and what symptoms are trauma related. I have been trained in multiple trauma modalities to provide treatment. I educate my clients on trauma and what happens in our bodies when we experience a trauma and how that experience can continue to manifest in our everyday living.
