I believe that the courageous step of exploring therapy can lead to healing, growth, and a changed life. I have a passion for bearing witness to each individual’s unique story. My work as a trauma therapist has sparked a passion in me to create safety when a client has been completely robbed of their sense of security. I feel especially passionate working with those who identify with having trauma and clients that are navigating adolescence.
As a marriage and family therapist, I approach my sessions from systemic and attachment framework while working with families, couples, individuals and adolescents. In my work at the Meadows, I have received extensive guidance in Pia Melody’s model which focuses on healing the inner child to get back to a place of believing one has inherent value and worth.
I take pride in offering a judgement free zone, where honest feelings, thoughts, and experiences can be shared openly. I am highly relational and direct with my clients, creating a therapeutic experience that will both encourage and cultivate insights.
