Introduction

Healing from trauma is possible. Living a meaningful life after loss is possible. I take an empathetic approach to hear your story, guide your healing, and challenge those thoughts that keep you stuck. I focus on the origins of trauma, which often stems from childhood, and use CBT and DBT to help clients reset their inner dialog.
