My Approach to Helping

My approach is grounded in trauma-focused, attachment-based care. I am most concerned with the meaning you give to what you have been through, and how it has influenced you, and who you are. My goal, always, is to help you walk your own path and create an environment in which you feel empowered to reach your highest potential.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Outside of being a therapist, I'm also a mom, a wife, an illustrator, an advocate, a protester, and a lifelong learner. I love to read, be near the ocean and out in the forest. I am spiritual and earth worshiping, non-religious and centered in my higher self. I absolutely love holding the lantern alongside people as they learn about themselves and find their paths to healing. On a more personal note (and because I am often asked), I became interested in becoming a therapist at a very young age, 6 to be precise, after I was brought to therapy and given projective assessments after I lost my dad to suicide. I thought it was just amazing that she was able to gain insight into my young mind simply by evaluating my drawings, and I felt very seen by her. I went through other therapists that failed me utterly and completely throughout my tumultuous childhood, and I decided I wanted to be like her one day. I hold myself to that standard of care; I want you to remember me that way.
