I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Work, Community Psychologist, and Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have over 17 years of experience of serving people, with the last 12 years practicing clinically. I specialize in trauma, chronic stress, and adversity.

I don’t believe that people are broken. I believe we are the walking wounded on a never-ending journey of healing. My goal is not to get you to become the best version of yourself, as we are all doing our best. My goal is to guide you in knowing and loving all versions of yourself. Life isn’t perfect neither are people or the journey. I consider myself a velvet hammer in the therapeutic process. I will support you, encourage you, push, and challenge you.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy as I may be the expert, but you are the expert of your life with the most valuable knowledge and information. Although my clients are my greatest teachers in life, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to sit with them, but I don’t want to see anyone forever. I believe therapy shouldn’t be forever but should happen in cycles, and I strive to get you to complete at least one with me.
