As a specialist in treating trauma and substance misuse in adolescents and young adults, I understand how difficult it can be to overcome the disruptive cycles of our lives alone. Together, we’ll work to identify the patterns that keep you stuck, access and process through traumas trapped deep in the brain, and rediscover the internal resources you need to regain control, heal, and move toward the life you want to live.
I take on a person-first approach to therapy. I’ll meet you where you’re at and we’ll work collaboratively to figure out what to focus on. Your goals are my goals. I use an integrative approach (psychodynamic, Brainspotting, ACT, and EFT) and will keep your unique cultural and social contexts in mind when understanding you and what you’re going through.
As a high school drop-out with a checkered past turned psychologist, I understand how challenging life can be, and I also understand that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, but we can’t do it all alone (I know I couldn’t have). I’d be honored to walk with you on your healing journey.
