About Me
I am a trauma informed therapist and certified in EMDR. I pride myself in creating a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients. I am interactive, non-judgmental and empathic in my approach. In working with my clients, my style is eclectic, and I believe in taking a client centered approach and meeting my client’s where they are in their individual journey. It is my goal to help cultivate within my client’s self-compassion. I also incorporate "parts" work to help with exploring the different parts of themselves created through traumatic experiences to help bring a sense of peace and wholeness. I have a wealth of experience treating depression/anxiety, complex trauma and life transitions.
