About Me
I have over 20 years of experience. I provide therapy in person and virtually. I work with adults (ages 20+) experiencing the effects of trauma, as well as a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, and major life transitions, among others. I offer compassion and empathy from a strength-based approach. I help clients to recognize their strengths and resiliency as they work towards healing. I also focus on sharing techniques that help clients restore calmness to the body and regulate the nervous system.
