Just another PT profile, right? Let's look closer...I know you've been trying to find a therapist & someone you can connect with. I understand this can be overwhelming, especially with what you're already going through. I'm a licensed therapist that happens to be a flawed human. While there is a wide array of issues that I treat, I'm most interested in helping other humans address issues with complex/chronic trauma, substance use, & chronic pain/illness. I also have a passion for working with other therapists who are wanting to find the best match for their unique needs while appreciating the nuance of therapists in therapy.
Over the last decade, I have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and community case management roles. I aim to understand you as a whole experience (holistic), not just your symptoms.
My approach aims to extend beyond talk-therapy, integrating EMDR, IFS -informed, DBT, & psychodynamic approaches. I prioritize recovery beyond just symptom management. I conduct sessions with transparency, directness, & humor, empowering you always.
If you felt this resonates, I would love to connect with you! Let's start this journey, shall we?
