Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a clinician at our Robinson clinic who provides therapy services!

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults struggling with complex challenges, like past or present trauma, or difficult family or romantic relationships. I specialize in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I use a variety of approaches, tailoring the way I work with clients for their needs, but come from a philosophy that our early influences continue to impact our lives and the people we surround ourselves with influence our outlook on the world. I am trained to use EMDR as a treatment for PTSD and trauma, Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD, and integrate cognitive behavioral therapy elements into my work.

In my work with trauma, I have particularly focused on c-PTSD. This may not be a single life-changing event, but a pattern of repeated smaller traumas, such as a pattern of emotional neglect during childhood, or the feeling that you have never felt good enough or like you can trust important people in your life.

It is my first priority to listen to your experiences, goals, and perspective with respectful curiosity, to help you to understand how your mental health challenges began, grew, and what feeds them now, and I will sit with you through the discomfort with calm and compassion. We will figure this out and I will be with you every step of the way.
