Introduction

I enjoy working with individuals seeking to replace shame with self-compassion and who are looking for relief. I have trainings in EMDR, ERP, TF-CBT, DBT, and CBT and am passionate about social and political justice advocacy, particularly for issues impacting the populations I serve and my local communities. I approach therapy from an attachment-focused perspective and specialize in trauma work (chronic and/or acute) and OCD treatment. I am committed to emotionally focused work that supports my clients in a wholistic way. Whether you are struggling with lingering emotional impacts of past experiences or persistent and distressing thoughts, you deserve a space that is uniquely designed for you, and that allows for self-expression and personal growth. I hope my office will be a launch-pad for you to delve into healing and wellness in a way that is specialized to meet your needs. If you are interested in getting started, or would like a consultation, please reach out to me directly, or contact my office to inquire about my enrollment options with our office's engagement specialist.
