Associate Clinical Social Worker #115769 (Supervised by Isabella Laughlin, LMFT #125604, ATR)
As your therapist, my primary focus is to facilitate your healing journey through psychodynamic therapy. I am deeply committed to supporting adolescents and transitional age youth as they rediscover their true selves after enduring the challenges of living with an eating disorder. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have survived childhood trauma including sexual abuse and developmental trauma.
I believe the foundation of all our emotional wounds lies in our attachments. Our earliest bonds shape our beliefs about self-worth, our perception of the world and our connection with others. To reach those deeply guarded wounds, I guide my clients in exploring all their parts that keep them safe. Every part within you is welcome, as no part is considered “bad” – some may have simply lost their way. My ultimate goal is to create a safe space where individuals can return home to themselves.
My professional background includes working with survivors of intimate partner violence in shelters, adolescents experiencing trauma in community mental health, and adolescents with eating disorders in residential treatment care.
