In addition to my extensive training, I have lived experience with sexual trauma, domestic violence, marital challenges, divorce, co-parenting, and blending families.  Together, we will explore your experiences and emotions to create a brave space for you to heal. I use various techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapy, to help you overcome the effects of trauma and build a sense of self-worth and empowerment.

My approach is holistic and tailored to your specific needs.
