About My Clients

You may be feeling anxious, down or just not like yourself lately. Perhaps painful memories weigh heavy on your mind and heart and these things are preventing you from feeling like yourself and having the life and relationships that you desire. You want to better understand yourself, what you are feeling and find more meaning and fulfillment in life.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma. I often use Somatic Experiencing techniques along with traditional talk therapy to help heal upsetting memories and intense feelings and often work to help give you the tools to find more clarity and peace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We all have the resources within us to heal. I value diversity and the acceptance and inclusion of all people. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community.
