I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in working with youth, adults, families, and systems that have been impacted by trauma. I practice from the paradigms of interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

You are the author of your own story;Therefore, you know you, best. Your story is important. Your story is beautiful. Your story is what makes you, you. As your therapist, we use your story to allow for true growth and transformation.Starting therapy can feel like the most vulnerable experience you will encounter, especially with someone you have never met. Speaking with a stranger about the deepest parts of ourselves can sometimes feel daunting and unnerving. You are not alone in these feelings. I seek to provide you with a safe space that allows you to find passion in your life and remove blocks that are keeping you from thriving.

If you are a client seeking therapy for anxiety, or because of post-traumatic or dissociative symptoms, then I would be a good fit for you.

I believe every person can overcome the things that block them from leading a rich and fulfilling life.  I know that every person deserves and can achieve radical healing, and that it shouldn't take a lifetime to get there.  If you are ready to get to the root of your issues rather than just treat symptoms, you have come to the right place.  I use deep listening, EMDR, parts work, and other somatic modalities to help my clients achieve profound and lasting change.  I expect that you will see significant progress in the time we are working together, and if you don't, I will help you find someone who can offer that to you.

As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who have been impacted by complex trauma. We are shaped most profoundly by our earliest and closest relationships, and when those relationships have been fraught with chronic adversity – either due to neglect and abuse, or due to unintentional or unavoidable life adversity – we tend to struggle emotionally, behaviorally, and interpersonally with the impact of early life trauma exposure. Treatment is most effective when one is able to find a safe space to identify the root of those struggles.

These feelings are not abnormal, and you need a therapist who can help you discover their root cause.
