With over 15 years of experience, I am an EMDR Certified therapist licensed in two states. Specializing in complex trauma and eating disorders, my approach integrates compassion and expertise to guide clients towards resilience. As an endurance athlete, I uniquely understand the challenges athletes face, addressing the mental aspects that often accompany physical pursuits. My commitment is to cultivate a safe and empathetic space where clients can embark on a path of healing, empowering them to live their best lives.
Most of clients have a trauma history that they are afraid to explore. My experience has taught me that we don't need to remember all the gory details or force problems that don't exist, but recognizing dysfunctional patterns and coping skills that are often created from our past is an integral part of healing and growing.
I am passionate about racial justice, LGTBQIA+ friendly, and strive to create a safe, empathetic and comfortable environment for my clients.

For complex trauma, I normally spend quite a bit of time building rapport with my clients. Processing trauma is not done in a set number of sessions. We build a trusting therapeutic relationship first, then process what is holding you back. We may use ACT, CBT or EMDR through our work together.
