My Style

I take a non-judgmental, empathic approach. I value the importance of compassion, curiosity, and validation of one’s emotional experience within the therapeutic setting as pathways to promoting meaningful change in your life.

My areas of focus and specialties include, PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, premarital, communication issues, and sex and intimacy concerns. I have training in Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman method, EFT, and am currently in training to obtain my Dance/Movement therapy certification.

What I Want You To Know About Therapy

Therapy is a courageous and vulnerable journey of allowing yourself to know and be known in relationship with another in a way that heals past wounds and guides you into cultivating compassion, love, and acceptance of yourself.
