Authentic, intuitive, collaborative, compassionate, humorous, and direct are words clients often use to describe a session with me.
My work is grounded in the use of Havening Techniques® as well as other modalities to support the resolution of trauma and the healing of grief, life transitions, and early childhood experiences that shape confidence, self-worth, and relational patterns. Through a gentle, neuroscience-informed approach, I help clients safely process distressing memories, reduce emotional intensity, and create new, empowering narratives about themselves and their lives.
I collaborate with clients to explore their inner world and reconnect with their own innate wisdom and capacity for healing.I specializes in grief and loss, attachment wounds, life transitions, post-divorce care, post-traumatic stress, and complex trauma, including experiences connected to adoption and foster care. My work often focuses on helping clients untangle early experiences that impact present-day relationships, identity, and sense of self.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist and trauma informed provider, I bring decades of experience to clients who desire to explore and use Havening Techniques® to focus on helping clients untangle experiences that impact present-day relationships, identity, and sense of self.
I have lived experience with out-of-order loss, multiethnic and blended families, adoption, and navigating educational systems—perspectives that deepen my empathy and understanding of complex family dynamics.
