About Me

My journey into the field of counseling has been shaped by my diverse training, professional experiences, and practice in various treatment settings including residential treatment centers, community mental health facilities, and in private practice.

Throughout these experiences I worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, family and relational conflict. I focused on providing specialized support for those grappling with the aftermath of acute trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My experiences provided me with comprehensive training of evidenced-based treatments models and my practice has  equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities individuals face in the aftermath of traumatic events. In my practice I have found that words are powerful tools we have for understanding our experiences, but that often in traditional talk-therapy there is a struggle to integrate the experiences of the mind and the body. I pursued training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which provides a distinctive avenue for healing through embodied exploration of experiences. This modality recognizes the intricate connection between the body and mind, acknowledging that trauma is not solely lodged in memories but is also deeply held in the body. Utilizing Sensorimotor Psychotherapy allows us to bypass traditional verbal approaches, creating an additional way for clients to engage in therapy and access deeper layers of healing.

I understand that every individual's journey is unique, and my therapeutic style reflects this belief. I view the therapeutic relationship as essential for change, growth, and healing. Relationships that are based in mutual trust, authenticity and respect create a safe space for exploration and healing. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative and I strive to foster an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I am also dedicated to my own learning and strive to have my practice adhere to anti-oppressive and anti-racist principles. My goal is to empower individuals to reconnect with their bodies, develop self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of safety and resiliency.

I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
