Individual Consultation for Therapists

Hello! Thank you for visiting my website! 

I am excited to offer consultation to all therapists who want to expand their knowledge of working with complex trauma and dissociation. 

In addition, I am highly skilled in carrying a high acuity caseload, and am happy to consult on difficult cases with you.

I am passionate about the work that I continue to do as an active Clinician.

I believe in equity of knowledge and resources, and am happy to share all that I've learned and the resources I have accumulated and developed over the course of my 15 year career. 

I am actively carrying a high caseload myself and am available for consultation on Mondays 1:30pm-4:30pm. 

 

Below you will find a list of the values that guide my clinical work as a trauma therapist, clinical supervisor, and clinical consultant.

​

​

SERVICE

I show up to serve—with presence, intention, and respect.  I respect and value the unique strengths and wisdom each person/System brings. I strive to offer care that is thoughtful, efficient, and deeply rooted in both scientific evidence and cultural understanding. Your time, energy, and trust are never taken for granted.

EQUITY

I believe that healing and knowledge should never be gatekept. Everyone deserves access to the tools, resources, and information that support wellness and dignity. I am committed to transparency, inclusion, and the dismantling of barriers that prevent people from thriving.

KINDNESS & COMPASSION

My practice is guided by the principle of doing no harm. I aim to reduce suffering, not reinforce it. Through mindful speech and behavior, I work to create spaces free from judgment—where people feel seen, heard, and safe. Compassion isn’t just a value—it’s a daily discipline.

COMPETENCE

I don’t claim to know everything—nor do I aspire to. What I do commit to is ongoing learning: staying engaged with current research, trainings, and evolving best practices. But knowledge alone isn’t enough. I integrate what I learn with care and discernment, tailoring it to the unique needs of each person and system I work with. My approach is never robotic or one-size-fits-all. I aim to support meaningful growth and lasting integration, always in service of wellness, dignity, and real-world impact.

About Me

I believe it takes strength to be vulnerable and open to change.  Finding a therapist  can feel overwhelming.  It is so important to find the right match of personalities and education.  Someone who understands what you have experienced in your life or has the strength to listen without judgement and to walk by your side during this new journey of growth.
