How I work
I'm a LMSW, CAADC, and Registered Yoga Teacher, and my approach is holistic and trauma-informed — shaped by professional training and by growing up in a family affected by substance use, mental health challenges, and trauma. That is what drives my commitment to walk alongside clients with compassion and authenticity.
Who I work with
I specialize in children (3+), teens, and young adults, with deep experience in ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, addiction, family-system challenges, and foster-care and adoption experiences. My training includes EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, play therapy, and DBT-informed care, plus somatic and mindfulness practices.
At the heart of it
So much of my work is about self-compassion. Many people carry shame and self-criticism rooted in things beyond their control; my goal is to help you reconnect with your worth and discover that healing is not only possible, but something you deserve.
At the heart of the work
Meet yourself with kindness — healing is not only possible, it is something you deserve.
