About Me
work collaboratively and flexibly, using evidence-based approaches (such as EMDR and CBT) to bolster a foundation of real, safe, authentic connection. I will never say I know or understand something that I don't, but will always approach any relationship with compassionate curiosity and a lifelong willingness to learn about and support who you are as a whole person. I have experience on both sides of the table, and am here to hold space wherever you need.
