About Me

Some of my favorite words come from Brene Brown when she said, "Empathy has no script. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of 'You Are Not Alone.' " I am here to provide that space for you while you work to overcome trauma or significant life experiences. It takes courage and vulnerability to begin the therapy process. I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you. With many years in the field and much training in Trauma and Attachment, I work with clients to understand what is at the root of their symptoms. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and work with clients to overcome depression, anxiety and relationship issues and PTSD. I understand that it may be hard to reach out as I have had my own journey to healing after trauma and illness. I know firsthand how important it is to have a trusted therapist to walk through these times with you. I also know that it is truly possible to live a life of peace and joy and would love to partner with you.

Education & Experience

I graduated with my MSW in 2006 and have a post-grade 2 year certification in Infant Toddler Mental Health from The Harris Institute. I have been in the field since 2002 working as a social worker, trainer, consultant, therapist and more. I am a EMDRIA approved consultant and enjoy working with other professionals.
