• LMFT

  I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I was also a Registered Nurse for 6 years, working with medical-surgical, ophthalmology, and reproductive medicine patients.

  I went on to have my own family, became a Special Education Advocate with 12 years of experience assisting families in the IEP process, and then received an Educational Therapy certificate. These unique components of my professional and personal experience make me a highly equipped therapist to help people in various complex challenges and situations.

• Therapeutic

  I specialize in therapeutic work with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, somatic complaints, trauma, and chronic health conditions. We can work together to identify stress/trauma response patterns to understand yourself better and how you respond to life stressors and relationships with others.

  I help my clients build personal insight so they regain an understanding of how and why their mind and body react in sometimes upsetting or challenging ways (such as anxiety/panic attacks, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, feeling disconnected from self/others, etc.).

• Holistic Approach

  Have you tried traditional talk therapy but found something was missing? I provide psychotherapy to individuals utilizing a holistic approach that incorporates the mind and the body. As a trauma-informed Therapist, I use Somatic Experiencing, a gentle body-based approach to processing trauma with an emphasis on psychoeducation of the brain, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Using an integrative approach, treatment is highly customized to meet your individual needs.
