Nice to meet you

I am a Clinical Trauma Therapist (CCTP-II) specializing in trauma, IPV/DV, and complex family and relational dynamics. I devote continuing education each year to Gender & Sexuality and am pursuing certification as a Financial Therapist. I hold certifications in Mindfulness Meditation, Toxic Relational Dynamics, and Complex Trauma-Affirmative Approaches to help reduce pain, suffering, and emotional distress. My work integrates Relational Psychodynamic, CBT, and Life Course Approaches with a trauma-informed focus.
