"Trauma can have an impact on many parts of your life causing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression and at times, physical pain and discomfort. Luckily, you do not have to go through this alone. As your therapist I will work with you to ease and integrate feelings of stress, anxiety, and pain towards a brighter future healing both the mind and body.
I have specialized training and experience in trauma-informed care, working with individuals with developmental disabilities, and assisting those navigating grief and loss. I utilize modalities that integrate mind-body awareness and internal exploration. Furthermore, my work as a medical social worker has solidified my commitment to holistic treatment."
