my mission

Equipped with compassion, care, and a sense of humor, it is my goal for you to feel supported, heard, and find moments of laughter as you move through your work. I see therapy as teamwork, and I'll be by your side as you navigate the change that has occurred in your life. Let's get started!


Power of Empathy: I’m in it with you. I’m not here to fix you. I’m not here to feel it for you. I’m here to feel with you and let you know you’re not alone.

my approach

I specialize in working with adults who have endured a trauma, or are experiencing a life transition. The kind of events where there is a clear indication of what your life was like before the trauma or transition took place, and a clear indication of what your life is like after. Examples include, but are not limited to: grief and loss, an accident, marriage, a health diagnosis, a move, divorce, and so on.

My approach is goal oriented, and starting at your first session, I will ask you to pinpoint the change and results you wish to see. During our work, I will build upon your existing strengths (you've made it this far on your own—you're doing something right!), by applying personally tailored approaches and techniques. These approaches and techniques will help you gain insight and perspective, learn coping skills and strategies to help manage the many curveballs in life, and in turn, make the necessary adjustments to achieve your goals and live a happier day to day.


The wound is where the light enters you.

What is a trauma therapist?

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in guiding individuals through the complexities of life's transitions. Whether you're on the verge of getting married, going through the challenges of a divorce, or graduating college and entering a new chapter, I am here to offer compassionate support. Navigating life can be hard, and my goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop coping strategies.

I am dedicated to helping those who are struggling with grief and loss, whether it's coping with the death of a loved one, navigating the emotional aftermath of a divorce, or a change in career path. Loss is a universal experience, and I am committed to assisting you in processing your emotions, finding meaning, and gradually rebuilding a sense of well-being.

Together, we will embark on a therapeutic journey to address your unique challenges and empower you to navigate life's twists and turns. Your emotional well-being is my priority, and I am here to support you as you navigate the complexities of life and discover your inner strength.

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but action in the face of fear.
