Perspective

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a brave space to explore relational dynamics and gain an understanding of our relational patterns influencing our interactions with ourselves and others. I am also a certified yoga instructor via YogaRoots on Location and incorporate elements of this training into my practice as appropriate and desired by clients.


I am certified in Cognitive Processing therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT and trained in EMDR therapy, and incorporate my trauma-informed yoga teacher training as appropriate. I utilize a holistic approach to mental health and specialize in processing the impacts of trauma on the mind, spirit, and body.


I enjoy working with adults and have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds exploring issues related to trauma, abuse, peer and familial relationships, and identity formation. I welcome you to contact me via phone or email to set up an initial consultation to determine whether we would be a good fit.
