Is your trauma, PTSD, anxiety & grief constantly getting activated? Do you feel like you can never get beyond what has happened to you? Together we will create a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment to help you get in touch and learn how to deal with the rollercoaster of emotions. I have developed a unique approach through building the therapeutic relationship to work with individuals struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and self- harm. My clinical experience, calm demeanor, and aspiration for trust, help build meaningful relationships with clients through exploration of life. I have been a clinical social worker since 2017 and have a life long history of working with children and families.

I love to incorporate animal assisted therapy as who doesn't love dogs and horses? My speciality is working with trauma and I am constantly training to have the most up to date skills and be the best in my field.
