About

I believe in healing, I have watched many people grow into the truth of their experience by using evidenced based practices, a focused treatment plan, and an honor for the impact trauma has had in all areas of their life. While I currently serve primarily adults and teens, I have over 20 years experience working with stressed and traumatized youth in the foster and probation systems; I gained much experience and training as a specialist in stress, trauma, attachment, and sexual abuse. My own experiences of burn-out and loss prompted a healing journey that has brought Expressive Therapies into my clinical toolbox. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Creative Journal Expressive Arts. I have years of success providing these interventions, there is nothing I haven’t heard. We will work together to decide what treatment plan is best for you. I’m ready to listen without judgement and help to bring you to a place of restoration and harmony.
