About Me: I am 45-years young and have a wonderful 23-year-old daughter who is by far one of my favorite people, and a lively 13-year-old son who keeps me young at heart and active. My interests in the arts and nature fuel my creativity, while my strong will and occasional stubbornness serve my dedication to lifelong learning. I am deeply caring, giving, and passionate about life, always striving to become a better person.
Professional Background: As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting adults through challenges such as trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. My focus extends to attachment issues, codependency, and building self-esteem. My therapeutic approach creates a safe, nurturing environment, fostering healing and growth. I employ an attachment and relationship-focused methodology to work collaboratively with clients, helping them to overcome obstacles and build resilience.
Therapeutic Approach: While trained in a wide range of modalities, my practice emphasizes evidence-based therapies, including Attachment Trauma Focused Therapy, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Compassionate Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy. What distinguishes my practice is my specialization in attachment relationship focused therapy, particularly using the PACE model (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy), and the integration of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I am deeply inspired by the resilience of my clients and am committed to providing compassionate care that honors each person's unique journey and strengths.
