About Me

I am committed to supporting teens, young adults, and adults (16yrs+) learn how to build

healthier relationships with themselves and others. My work focuses on coping with anxiety,

depression, complex grief, and healing from trauma in sustainable ways.

​

I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. My approaches

are person-centered, strengths based, relational, and systems oriented. I invite the whole

person to step into judgement-free vulnerability, and I offer support with identifying and

building shame resilience. I thoroughly believe that no matter the maladaptive behaviors and

emotional responses individuals endorse, they are completely understandable in the context of

simply being human with abnormal life experiences in an abnormal system.

​

I am passionate about creating a welcoming, trusting, and safe environment for those who wish

to target ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs. I strive to assist others in living their most

authentic, meaningful life by encouraging self-love and compassion. I offer support with finding

stability through nervous system regulation and somatic mind-body thriving. I practice from a

psychodynamic perspective and utilize various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive

Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also have training in Narrative Exposure

Therapy and use creative, expressive arts in order to cultivate deeper meaning-making and

posttraumatic growth from the inside out.

​

I hold lived experience as a motherless daughter and interpersonal violence survivor, which aid

in my strong passion and desire to give back to this work. I understand how difficult it is to ask

for help and take the first step into therapy. I am here to remind you of your capabilities with

care, warmth, and encouragement. My clients are the drivers of their experiences, and I am

along for the ride if you would like me to be.
