Specialties:

I specialize in working with adults who grew up in a household where a parent or sibling experienced mental health challenges or developmental disabilities. Clients with this lived experience often experience challenges having a clear sense of self and setting boundaries with others. My expertise in working with clients dealing with childhood trauma and challenging family dynamics will allow you to find your identity, set boundaries with others, and live a more authentic life.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation:

I take a person-centered and individualized approach to the therapeutic process. Each client’s family dynamics are unique and intricate, and I take the time to understand your family dynamics, patterns within your nuclear family, and patterns across generations of your family. My focus is on having you experience less self-blame and less self-criticism and knowing your worth. I work with you to feel empowered to live more authentically, put yourself first, and meet your own personal needs within relationships. My goal in our work together is for you to be able to have a view of your life from above where you can see patterns more clearly and see how your environment plays a role in your life.
