As a provisionally licensed therapist, I integrate prevention and clinical work to minimize the ways negative patterns affect us and future generations. I advocate for courageous cycle breakers and create fiercely empathetic spaces to look at foundational threats to wellness. Understanding how personal history, family attachment, trauma, abuse, and societal power imbalances can hijack life stories, I am dedicated to helping clients unearth true stories and step into new possibilities of health.Experienced in attachment issues, dysfunctional family dynamics, communication challenges, codependency, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, divorce, co-parenting, psychological abuse, trauma, shame, low self-worth, and grief/loss, I use a strengths-based and narrative approach to collaborate with clients in moving forward through transitions, trauma, and broken trust.Like so many of us, I’ve stared into the darkness of trauma to pick up the shattered pieces of a life I thought I would have. I understand the fear and grief and paralysis of that space. Filtering decisions through a future story, an aspirational story, became a catalyst for growth and healing. It let me understand the necessity of moving forward in new ways that ultimately led me back to my truest self. I love watching women find their voice while raging against their silencing, collaborating in community-based initiatives, and finding the beautiful cracks in all of us that let the light pour in.I believe that healing happens against a social backdrop where we can explore all of the complicated aspects of our humanity. My most important job is to ensure that clients feel safe enough to get curious about their stories, traumas, triggers, and subconscious patterning so they can decide what they want to bring with them into the future and what they want to leave behind.
