TRAUMA? ANXIETY? PEOPLE-PLEASING? IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO
Therapy looks differently now. The old school head nodding, passive engagement, and ‘how does that make you feel?’ is a thing of the past. I enjoy actively supporting and challenging folks in their process of reflection, introspection, and growth. My approach is compassionate yet direct. I work best with people who are asking questions, shifting relationships with themselves or others, and who are committed to showing up and/or learning more about their authentic, vulnerable, and values focused self.

I never wanted to be a therapist! I knew I wanted to work with folks in a helping capacity and I also knew I most certainly did not want to be a therapist. It felt too limiting. And then at the open house of my grad school, I was introduced to the trauma program. One of the only trauma-specific graduate programs in the country at the time and I learned of the versatility of licensure. I learned of the exciting opportunities that I could experience while helping people and my passion was ignited.

EMDR is my go-to trauma therapy for clients. I have seen it change people’s lives. It is transformative, healing, and I have yet to work with a client who hasn’t reported immense benefits. Read more below or send along questions!

Gray is my favorite color! (Not really, it’s actually purple.) Therapeutically though, gray is where so much growth and progress happen. Decisions, boundaries, LIFE can feel so black and white, but we can thrive in the gray. I support folks in finding their gray. I find language to be so impactful. When used with intention it can be profound, meaningful, and healing; however, when used carelessly it can be dismissive, invalidating, and painful. I work with folks to build and strengthen congruency with their language and experiences so that they find comfort and peace in the gray.
