I believe that everybody wants to feel good, be connected, and achieve positive presence and clarity of purpose. I have worked with families and individuals for over a decade to help remove disturbance from traumatic experiences and unresolved grief that can cloud how we see ourselves and relate to others. I believe in helping individuals integrate experiences in a way that promotes the release of negative emotional/behavioral patterns, fosters new insights and restores a sense of trust in self and world. I believe deeply in each person’s capacity to reclaim joy in their lives. I find healing work to be each person’s invitation, opportunity and sacred birthright. I am honored to serve in this effort and to help facilitate the deep transformation that is possible for those who choose to empower themselves by receiving therapeutic support. My specialized training and experience began with very young children and families, working from the foundation of attachment theory to create relationship-based interventions. I complimented this therapeutic orientation with Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) training and certification to further my work processing traumatic and disturbing life events which can disrupt critical relationships. All therapeutic interventions that I employ; cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic, are grounded in my belief that people develop and adapt to life based on the quality of their relationships. Therefore, I am skilled at helping relieve parenting stress and confusion, helping family member’s shift systemic conflict, and helping people understand and communicate needs effectively within relationship. More recently, my therapeutic work has expanded to include offering therapeutic support to individuals preparing for and integrating ethnogenic experiences and plant medicine ceremonies.
