I believe in the healing power of slowing down, staying curious, and staying related, and I bring these elements heartfully into my therapy practice. Clinically, I have experience working with children, families, adults, and couples in schools, community counseling centers, group practices, and addiction treatment facilities. I am passionate about working with adults of all ages grappling with life transitions, addiction, relationship and family challenges, and the impact of trauma across the lifespan. I operate from a Relational, Trauma-Informed approach and enjoy integrating wisdom from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. I gently aim to shift the focus of mental health care from the struggles and ‘problems’ we all face to the resiliency and wisdom inherent in seeking help. I have been told that my style is empathetic, intuitive, and insight-building. I consistently feel honored to be a part of my clients’ brave journeys back home to themselves. I come to BetterHelp with professional experience teaching, writing, and working in business. I welcome the opportunity to join you in your healing journey, and honor your bravery in seeking support.
