My work combines traditional talk therapy techniques (top down approach) with body-centered interventions (bottom-up approach) that directly address the neurological effects of trauma. I take a holistic approach that integrates the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your life. You will also learn about neuroplasticity and how your neural pathways may be getting in the way of your goals.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parental coaching, marital therapy, and beyond. I integrate complementary techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to every one of my clients. I utilize therapeutic approaches in which I have been trained; I may use one approach or a combination of approaches depending on your individual needs, including Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems Theory, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho Dynamic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness and Mediation.
