In my work, I take an integrative approach to each person, knowing that we are the sum of our parts. I draw from my extensive training, studies and lived experiences in mindfulness, somatic & nervous system based therapies, attachment theory, psychodynamic theory and many other therapeutic approaches. I am warm and empathetic and easily create a compassionate, safe and collaborative environment while also being direct. This serves as the foundation of our therapeutic relationship and catalyst for gaining helpful insight and creating meaningful and lasting change in your life. We will look at long-standing behavior patterns, negative perceptions and limiting beliefs that are holding you back and work to implement the changes you need to make to move forward and create a life you love and celebrate!  

I teach my clients techniques how to identify their triggers, through the use of somatic techniques how to calm and soothe their central nervous systems and bodies so they may apply cognitive behavioral techniques to become regulated. 

Growing up in an alcoholic family I yearned for the hope of healing from the wounds of my parents, which they projected onto my sibling and I. Through my own sobriety and experience with psychotherapy I received the support and insight I needed to begin and continue my healing journey. My motivation is to help others feel supported, seen, heard and empowered to heal their own wounds and live a life beyond their wildest dreams.

I work with my clients to explore and identify their triggers, then through integrative approaches such as trauma focused somatic experiencing, CBT, DBT, nutrition and exercise and in some cases medication management, help to restore empowerment, regulation and balance to themselves. 

Be willing to explore what makes you hesitant with an experienced clinician who will listen to and support you.  

I am warm, compassionate, empathetic, direct and expertly trained in countless therapeutic modalities. I work collaboratively with my clients.
