About
My clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts that disrupt their daily lives. Many are trauma survivors—whether from childhood abuse, domestic violence, or workplace stress as first responders. They're seeking relief from anger, avoidance, hopelessness, and emotional overwhelm. Often referred after struggling with traditional talk therapy, they need specialized, trauma-informed care that provides practical tools alongside deep healing. I'm a trauma-informed, behaviorally-focused therapist offering evidence-based approaches: EMDR, DBT, CPT, CBT, ACT, and IFS. I excel at teaching practical grounding and coping skills to manage intense symptoms. My small, shed-free therapy dog Sophie provides additional comfort during sessions.
