7 years in practice

I work with clients 14 yrs and over. Specialities include trauma, addiction, overcoming life challenges, women's issues and sport performance.

Welcome! I approach treatment from a strengths perspective, using evidence- based strategies to help you reach your goals. Together, we will collaborate to tailor our work to your individual needs in a supportive environment. I have experience helping clients navigate recovery, trauma, and emotional regulation using a holistic, evidence-based approach. My clinical practice is deeply informed by comprehensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which allow me to help clients reshape negative thought patterns and build crucial distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills. Recognizing the profound connection between mind and body, I integrate mindfulness practices and somatic interventions to help clients ground themselves in the present moment and safely process physical tension. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help individuals heal from underlying trauma. By weaving these modalities together, I also support individuals in substance use and relapse prevention, empowering them with tailored coping strategies to sustain long-term recovery and build a resilient, fulfilling life. When working with athletes who want to improve performance, improve focus and resilience, and/or are recovering from injury, we often focus on developing skills that support overall confidence. Homework is assigned for athletes to develop routines that support their goals. Clients of all backgrounds and identifies are welcome at my practice. I look forward to connecting with you.
