I offer adult individual therapy, specializing in working with the effects of trauma, rape, military sexual trauma, life stress, and transitions. My clinical work includes helping people connect with their authentic self to build inner resilience and self-awareness, reduce anxiety/depression, and improve relationships. Therapy is a collaborative process that allows one to be fully seen and deeply heard while growing empathy and understanding of self through examining past wounds, current stressors, and challenging themes that keep showing up unresolved.
My work utilizes a variety of modalities tailored to each client, with a strong focus on establishing a warm and nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy encourages the undoing of patterns and thus requires a safe place to learn and practice new ideas at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is built on compassion and acceptance. It would be an honor to walk this path with clients as they develop self-worth, relationship stability, and trust.
