I have been described as direct, curious, and grounding. My practice focuses on trauma work, teens, adult individuals, and parenting. My training and beliefs are rooted in spirituality as an important part of the whole self. I see therapy as an important tool for existential growth. Our culture doesn't make enough space for emotional expression and introspection. Therapy is a unique relationship that allows for the practice of emotional intimacy such that we may become more attune and connected to ourselves and others. My practice has allowed me to specialize in the following areas: Trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, anger issues, identity development, insomnia, dissociation, child behavior problems, parenting problems. I use Motivational Interviewing almost always to start and incorporate my other specialties depending on the client's need. I offer EMDR, DBT skills training, TFCBT for traumatized children, and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy and integration.
