(she/her/hers)

Licensed in: West Virginia

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges. I work with my clients to revise the narrative of their lives, heal old wounds, and move forward with a newfound feeling of freedom and relief. I guide clients through understanding how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and help them make a targeted change. I assist my clients in improving self-awareness and understanding their physical responses to external stressors.

My Approach

I have experience and training in many techniques and therapeutic approaches, allowing me to create a genuinely individualistic and client-centered treatment. I am focused on collaborating with clients, ensuring they see real progress and feel safe and heard throughout the therapeutic process. Everyone has a story, and I'm here to listen to yours.
