“Our wounds are the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
With over 18 years of experience working in the social services field, I bring a variety of resources to help clients grow through whatever challenges they may be facing. I am so grateful for the privilege of witnessing the strength and resilience of the people I serve and supporting them in their journey towards health and healing.
I specialize in treating adults with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma and PTSD . I utilize a trauma-informed approach in assessing and treating clients and have a special focus on working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma across their life span.
Drawing from my social work training, I bring an integrative approach to my work with an emphasis on self-determination, collaboration, respect for diversity and a commitment to social justice. I utilize a variety of clinical interventions including humanistic/person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness and EMDR.
