I taught at the university level and have worked in various non-profit, social service, and educational settings with individuals from diverse backgrounds and a range of ages.
APPROACH
My treatment approach is individualized for each client's specific needs. My interests in neuroscience, mindfulness, expressive arts, energy psychology, and radical self compassion all weave into personalized treatments that bring healing to the mind and body.
I believe in the power of safe, welcoming spaces for all and am committed to equity and justice.
WHO I SERVE
I work with adolescents and adults whose lives are affected by stress, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, chronic pain, anger, grief, addiction, interpersonal conflicts, and somatic symptoms.
My experience in various trauma treatment modalities prepares me to work with those who have survived single event traumatic incidents, as well as chronic traumas like intimate partner violence, childhood abuse and neglect, racism, financial instability, and prejudice.
