Description
I have a passion for helping others heal and have been honored to witness the transformational change made by so many. My approach is family systems, trauma informed and strengths-based. I used a wide range of modalities and have specialized training in CBT (cognitive based therapy), DBT (dialectical based therapy) and various somatic (body based) therapies for processing and healing trauma. The focus of my academic work and clinical practice is in helping individuals manage and overcome anxiety and depression.
