Most of my clients come to me to process some kind of trauma. You might have just gotten out of a bad relationship, lost someone or something important to you, or you might be ready to unpack the difficult parts of your childhood.

Often, anxiety and depression are secondary symptoms that stem from our toughest times or how we coped with them the best we were able to at the time. Better understanding of these events combined with learning new tools can lead to lasting, meaningful change. I utilize my own lived experience in my work to help give you a warm and grounded space to explore.

I specialize in C-PTSD, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, and Grief & Loss. I work using Somatic reprocessing (TRM), Polyvagal techniques, CBT, DBT, Narrative therapy, and Psychodynamic methods.

With couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy techniques to help couples better understand their deeper feelings, communicate with each other more effectively, and understand how they relate to their partner based on their attachment styles.

With families, I employ Bowen Family System Theory to help clients break out of multigenerational family dynamics as well as emotional and behavioral patterns. I believe families are complicated systems in which members are interconnected and family therapy can create broad changes. 

I am trained in: Trauma Resiliency Model, Polyvagal Theory for Trauma Recovery, EFCT, Narcissistic Abuse, Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment Trauma, Grief & Loss, and Advanced DBT Skills.
