Connection
Who I work with
I enjoy working with people who want to reduce triggers and intrusive thoughts and begin to enjoy daily life again. People who have trauma that is hard to discuss, or who can't stop thinking or worrying, have a space with me. Most often, the clients I see are women and teens who have tried their best to balance health, family, work/school, and self-care and still feel drained and unsure what to do next.
- Trauma-informed care
- Evidence-based approaches
- Steady, collaborative pace
- Grounded in presence
