I know how it feels to rebuild yourself after loss, abuse, and trauma. But I know first-hand that sometimes our most painful experiences can be the catalyst to our greatest growth and eventually, our truest happiness. I specialize in Complex Relational Trauma and recovery from Emotional Abuse.
I believe in the power of therapy, and integrate trauma-informed practices of mindfulness, personal narrative and self-compassion into my work. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Mindful Self-Compassion, as well as Certified in Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness. I love to help people to build safety and personal meaning in their lives. My perspectives come not only from my own experiences, but from my education in the fields of Anthropology and Social Work, earning a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, and my long-standing personal practices of meditation, mindfulness and yoga. I believe those of us who suffer and struggle and overcome are the greatest resource for making real change in the problems we face today and bringing real healing to the world.
