My Focus Areas

Anxiety, Panic Disorder & OCD: While anxiety is a natural part of life, sometimes your nervous system shifts into fight or flight even when a threat isn’t present. After all, brains naturally tend towards protection and risk assessment. If you frequently find yourself in this space, it can feel overwhelming and hinder your quality of life. Working together, we will use mindfulness, I-CBT, and other evidence-based techniques which will empower you to engage more fully with the world around you and build the tools needed to manage stress and anxiety.

Trauma: Life is hard. Most of us have had experiences, both big and small, that have altered our lives in a way that we would not choose. These experiences can have a lasting impact and make you feel stuck. Together, we will utilize trauma-focused interventions and practices that help the brain heal by reorganizing information that becomes maladaptively stored or stuck. Examples of these are: EMDR, trauma-informed movement and breathwork, brainspotting, mindfulness, and expressive arts.

Other areas I am passionate about include: veterans, children and adolescents, neurodivergence, chronic illness, gender dysphoria and other LGBTQ+ support.

Approach

I operate from a person-centered orientation and strongly believe in customizing treatment to fit each individual’s needs. While we will work as a team, you are the expert; I trust you and your lived experience to guide us. I provide an affirming, trauma-focused environment. You are welcome here exactly as you are. We will explore and process your concerns in a collaborative, nonjudgmental and gentle environment.
