I enjoy working with teens and adults along their journey towards finding resilience, strength, and hope in difficult situations. My practice is grounded in a person-centered approach and I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma and extreme anxiety, starting by creating an atmosphere of safety. I strive to meet your "survival" strategies with validation and kindness as we explore positive changes that you want to make in your life. My approach is primarily based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with emphasis on mindfulness-based and integrative strategies. Areas I’ve had most training and experience treating are anxiety, trauma (including complex trauma), depression, grief/loss, interpersonal issues, veterans issues, stress, self-esteem, and issues related to shame and forgiveness. One of the hardest parts of therapy is simply getting started. The human experience is not always easy and finding real solutions takes commitment, but therapy can provide a supportive space along this journey.
