Are you emotionally and physically exhausted at the end of each day? Do personal relationships leave you wounded and questioning your value? We should talk. Life experiences often leave us feeling emotionally crushed and overwhelmed. Together we can sort through these experiences and determine your unique path to healing. I believe in the inherent value of every individual and their capacity to be whole, happy and free from persistent emotional pain. Let's discover the approach that feels good and makes the most sense on your way to a happier, healthier you.
I am clinically trained in, and currently use a blended multi-theoretical psychotherapy approach, working from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective. I utilize play therapy techniques with children of all ages, am EMDR trained, as well as trauma-informed in my therapeutic styles .
Therapy is a powerful tool that can provide a path to a healing and hopeful existence. I recognize the value of each client with unconditional, positive and non-judgemental regard. My hope is to be able to provide a safe, comfortable therapeutic space where clients are able to process their experiences freely.

The treatment types I use reflect the notion that our bodies do "Keep the Score", as noted by psychologist Bessel Van Der Kolk. "In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past".
