About Me
Your capacity for change, healing, and growth is why I do this work. In the 16 years that I have been in the field, courage is what has always shown up at my door. Courage is always what leads us to change -- courage to believe that things could be different, that life doesn't have to feel this way. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey from courage to hope.
I specialize in utilizing EMDR, working with survivors of trauma, women in the postpartum period, and individuals parenting with PTSD.
I provide individual counseling in my office and walk-and-talk sessions in the community. New mothers are welcome to bring their infants.
