I am a trauma and DBT informed therapist with 18 years experience working with children, teens and adults. I offer a non-judgmental safe and warm space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe you are the expert on you! I see my role as providing support, validation and experience that empowers you and aligns with your specific environment and needs. I am here to learn all the ways you have resiliently coped and share my expertise to introduce a variety of ways to heal, adapt and thrive!
Over my career I have worked in a variety of private and public settings providing clinical support to children, teens, and adults. My time in these professional roles has provided me with an abundance of knowledge and experience helping individuals and families with challenging emotions and stressful life changes.
My personal experiences as a mother, combined with the knowledge I have gained over my career, provides me a unique perspective. I strongly believe in community and that youth benefit when the adults in their life are empowered, informed, and supported. I believe in life long learning and that change is the only constant. I believe that healing our own internal systems, allows us to impact change on the systems and relationships we feel no longer serve us, and helps us create a life that feels worth living.
I am here to help you unlock the tools you already possess and the self-love you deserve! I would be honored to listen to your life experience and support you on your healing journey!
