Hello

As a clinician specializing in complex (developmental) trauma, I assist teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and chronic health conditions. I also help families in conflict. My method zeroes in on uncovering root causes and core beliefs to enhance self-connection. I recognize the deep impact of past experiences such as loss, bullying, significant life changes, violence, and family dynamics on current well-being. This understanding drives my focus on addressing foundational issues for lasting change.

I use a holistic approach that goes beyond symptom reduction and supports the mind-body connection. I create a safe, compassionate space where we collaborate to address the root causes of anxiety, depression, shame, anger, chronic health conditions, relationship stressors, and even oppositional defiant behaviors. To do this, I utilize holistic modalities like the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Internal Family Systems, the Polyvagal Theory and other trauma-informed methodologies.  I am also highly trained and have certifications in holistic health, so can offer recommendations on natural approaches to healing the chronic health conditions that can often accompany distressing emotions.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. It fuels my understanding and empathy and allows me to act as a fierce advocate for my clients as they navigate and heal complex trauma. Along the way, I have discovered that healing is fostered by self-compassion, a vitally important quality I encourage by bringing a positive and supportive energy to every session. 

I am excited to invite you on a journey to lasting healing, self-acceptance, and empowerment.
