I believe that compassion and relationship building are at the core of the healing process. I am a trauma-informed, dialectical, and person-centered clinician who believes in both practical and deeply, emotionally based healing processes
​
I have 10+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients in various community mental health and teletherapy settings with problems ranging from situational life stress to severe mental illness. Some special interests include: anxiety, C-PTSD/trauma related disorders, attachment issues, childhood trauma, and helping individuals with parenting issues. I believe that positive mental health begins in infancy and am passionate about helping parents find connection to their children to help overall family health and bonding. I believe that many issues can be traced back to attachment issues. In addition to therapy services, I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and Certified Attached at the Heart Parent Educator (CAHPE) offering breastfeeding and parenting support to families.
​
I take an attachment therapy approach, where I work on building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client in order to help them reach their greatest potential and work towards reaching their goals. I believe that connection and relationship are the two foundations to personal growth. The strength of the relationship is based on my ability to maintain a non-judgmental, trusting and validating environment for the client while encouraging growth. My techniques include an integrative approach, combining multiple techniques, with an emphasis on Mindfulness-based techniques, attachment therapy, and DBT skills. Together, we will work together to find the root cause of the issues you are presenting with.
