Affirming. Creative. Collaborative.

I have been honored to work with children, adults, and families seeking to overcome historical, multigenerational, and personal trauma and PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks, major depression, and severe mental illness. Today, my practice is primarily focused on working with individuals and families struggling with:

  • anxiety

  • imposter syndrome

  • grief and loss

  • gender and sexuality

  • personal identity exploration

  • self-definition

  • creative blocks

  • family conflict

  • multigenerational trauma

  • life transitions

  • lack of confidence

  • chronic pain, hypermobility, and Ehlers Danlos syndrome

How I Work

I am enthusiastic about combining my clinical training and experience with my background in literature and art. I approach therapy collaboratively. I want to create a safe, affirming online space for you where you can explore your past trauma, increase your self-compassion in the present moment, and take joyful steps into your future. Together, you and I will build a map to get you from today, facing the challenges that bring you to therapy, to the future you are dreaming of.

As an integrative, holistic practitioner, I draw from a combination of therapeutic techniques and philosophies to help you build skills, gain insight, and achieve your goals. These techniques include:

  • Identification of values, and collaborative planning for values-based living

  • Practice of mindfulness, and education about ways mindfulness shares similarities, and is unique from, meditation

  • Reading and discussion of poetry, self-help books, fiction, song lyrics, and more to encourage self-reflection, skill development, compassion for self and others, and awareness of the context in which you live

  • Processing of past trauma, and insight building about ways previous experiences shape and influence your role as a parent, a sibling, a friend, and a partner

  • Exploration of your most important relationships, and examination of relationship patterns that support and nourish you, as well as those you wish to change

These techniques are based in evidence-based practices, including:

  • Bibliotherapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Child Parent Psychotherapy

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • Mindfulness

  • Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma (ITCT)
