My role as a therapist is to create a safe and empathetic environment to explore all the various dynamics that can contribute to these circumstances in life, create awareness and empower clients towards growth based on their values and goals.

My specialty focuses on PTSD, CPTSD, Grief, Anxiety, Depression and Codependence. I use CBT, REBT, Behavioral Activation and an eclectic mix of polyvagal and mindfulness techniques to uncover core beliefs, identify opportunities and calm the nervous system.

My experience with these topics is both professional and personal.

Transformation is possible. My aim is to support you as you grow in your awareness of your own resilience, ability to recover and try new ways of living. 

At this time I am providing telehealth services through TherapyNotes. I accept BCBSM and cash payment.
