About

During my internship at a domestic violence shelter, I gained valuable experience providing support to those who have been impacted by verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse that can occur in unhealthy relationships. I also have experience serving a varied population including those who are experiencing chronic stress, anxiety and depression, as well as those who are having difficulty adjusting to the ongoing challenges and struggles that life can bring. My experience with Nonviolent Communication provides a solid foundation for building healthy relationships and broadening communication and conflict resolution skills.

I have completed trainings in Focusing Oriented Therapy in Complex Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress, Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems that are significant resources when working through difficulties resulting from complex trauma. I am a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner and am working toward certification in Brainspotting.

I believe that providing a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment is key to establishing a therapeutic relationship, building trust and a creating a healing space that facilitates personal growth, resiliency and empowerment. I blend various theoretical approaches while remaining mindful of each person’s unique recovery, growth and pacing needs.
