More about Aimee

I help clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and a deep understanding of how trauma shapes the mind and body. Whether you’re coping with PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or major life transitions, therapy with me offers a safe space to feel seen, understood, and supported.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I draw from DBT (I’m DBT-certified), Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help you build emotional regulation, strengthen your inner resources, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in survival mode.
Together, we’ll work at your pace to make sense of your experiences, reduce the intensity of trauma responses, and move toward healing, stability, and meaningful growth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
