Figuring out how the pieces of life fit together can be overwhelming and difficult. Trauma, stress, and unexpected life struggles make it all the more challenging to navigate. Therapy is about understanding, healing, and learning to navigate those stressors. Part of my approach is to understand what is not working for you and help you make the changes you wish to see.
I believe therapy is a transformative process. I also believe that everyone deserves to be supported in that process. In therapy, we will navigate understanding, acceptance, and growth together. I believe in fostering curiosity, creativity, and compassion while guiding you in your self-discovery and healing.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD, addiction, criminology and forensic therapy, victimology and victim therapy, domestic abuse, psychosis, and dual diagnosis. I also work with individuals experiencing behavioral issues, emotional and personality disorders, stress, anxiety, and depression.
I communicate with openness and honesty while offering an inclusive, supportive space to begin your healing process. Every person has a story; I consider it a privilege to listen and understand yours.
