About

I provide a safe and connected space for clients to heal along their therapy journey - as a therapeutic philosophy, I believe that healing is relational and cannot be done in isolation. I specialize in treating trauma and relational wounds in my individual and couples therapy work, though my love for and knowledge of this field expands far beyond just that. Kindness, compassion, and love are the core values behind the work I provide - towards the self, partners, and others. In treating trauma and relational wounds, I hope to help my clients identify how their pasts impact the present, so they can build towards their dream future. I help my clients to identify and break cycles and patterns that no longer serve them. To identify these cycles, I believe in the power of helping clients notice their emotions and the data they provide in the body. Empowerment and choice are vital parts of healing trauma and attachment wounds. My clients are the experts in their care and while I provide ideas, options, psychoeducation, and guidance, the therapy I provide is highly collaborative and individualized to meet my clients unique needs.
