About
Looking for a therapist takes a lot of courage. Whatever it is that has motivated you to take this step, I'm glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, relationships and trauma. As a therapist I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore areas of pain and move towards integrative healing. With clients I spend time unpacking things like anger, shame, people-pleasing and perfectionism, processing how early childhood experiences and family dynamics impact current relationships, and exploring how to safely connect with, care for and communicate emotions. Other frequent areas of work include processing through grief, learning to set healthy boundaries, healing from abuse or betrayal in past relationships, confronting dissociation, and developing a wholehearted sense of self and identify in the world. I also enjoy working with clients who are wrestling with spiritual concerns or religious deconstruction.
