I have worked in mental health supporting youth, couples, adults and families for two decades. I am passionate about helping those with attachment and complex trauma shift their internal wiring to experience a new and more skillful way of being in the world.

I am trained in multiple empirically validated trauma treatment modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Complex Trauma, Neurosequential Model of Therapy (NMT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).
