Hello! Thank you for visiting! Families, couples, and individuals typically come to see me due to stress, trauma, and grief, all of which end up impacting connection to self and others. My therapeutic efforts aim to enhance relational attunement and secure attachment. I find, building internal and external resources, managing stress, grieving losses, and increasing tolerance for big emotions as primary ways to be helpful. Individual work can often be very fruitful, however, I conceptualize relationally and often encourage you to extend our efforts into more connection within the relationships valuable to you, including pets!
I am a Certified Animal Assisted Psychotherapist, Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and an EMDR Therapist. I value including animals and nature into the healing process, techniques from Relational Life Therapy, SMART Recovery tools, CBT, play, mindfulness, and somatic approaches.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to witness and support you while exploring deeper ways of connecting and being in the world, increasing understanding, and befriending difficult aspects of self and relationships. Be well!
