I work with clients struggling with trauma, chronic pain, and emotional neglect. We usually start with establishing a place where they feel safe and welcome to explore their pain and struggles while incorporating skills and strategies to help them cope with their symptoms. This acts as a foundation to process their pain and trauma. They usually see an improvement within the first few sessions.

Early in therapy, I combine an empathetic and validating approach with psychoeducation and skills from various methods. As you gain awareness of the underlying causes of your symptoms, we will target those with appropriate techniques, such as EMDR and Pain Reprocessing Theory. During treatment, we work to reduce your pain and distress to improve your quality of life.
