I have training and experience working with trauma and PTSD, following
EMDR
and TRIM approaches.
Every patient is unique, and so is every therapist. I have lived and practiced therapy in two very different cultures, which has given me insight into culturally specific and universal issues that underlie personal and interpersonal conflicts. I approach every client with acceptance and understanding, providing them with a compassionate space for exploring challenges and obstacles to happiness in themselves and their relationships. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds, seeking to understand each client's worldview and to help them to discover their own solutions to the difficulties they face, including anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts.

therapies. Your traumas, transitions and life goals could all be a focus of our work together. I acknowledge that world affairs can have impact and create stress in our daily lives. Let's review how you are doing in these areas. You may want to focus on both recent and past life events - perhaps loss of a loved one, a break-up, the developmental trauma of growing up with self-involved family members, or grieving unmet expectations of any kind. Perhaps your goal is simply increasing your ease with having effective conversations - often a useful benefit of therapy.

I also am a trauma-informed therapist, and can offer
EMDR
to clients who choose to dive more deeply into specific traumas and events.
It is only human to let the trials and tribulations of life weigh us down, and pull us away from our personal growth. We can feel stuck in old patterns and it is hard to see a way out. Therapy allows us to see our struggles from a new perspective, and find new paths towards positive change, and create a more harmonious interaction with our world. I work with couples and individuals on a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues and more.

I am a trauma-certified Marriage and Family therapist, specializing in working with adults who have childhood and/or attachment-based trauma/neglect/aversities/wounding. My goal is to provide a safe enough space, (which is determined by you and at the pace you feel comfortable with), to understand how those early relational experiences and general adversities can shape one’s worldview, core-beliefs, mental health, relationship to the self, and external relationships in adulthood. I will be asking you “where are you feeling that in your body.”

Do you feel stuck, like you are getting in your own way? Feelings hopeless and isolated? Life presents all kinds of challenges which we often try to manage on our own and creates frustrations. This frustration creates barriers that can leave you feeling distant from others and even a stranger to yourself. What is worse is often we don’t even know why we are struggling. I am dedicated to helping you with the difficult and painful experiences by facilitating understanding of yourself and the issues that cause pain.
Mindfulness Centered Psychotherapy
Marriage & Family Therapist
Verified
Some of the theories and tools I draw from include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness practices, Hakomi Body-Oriented Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and
EMDR
to name a few.
Do you find yourself getting stuck in old thoughts and feelings that create challenges in your relationships or career? Would you to feel present, clear and peaceful? It takes courage to go to therapy and work on issues that challenge you. Rather than giving you advice, we would look at how you're putting your experiences together, and how those create repeating patterns in your life; this is with the hope of getting enough information, willingness, and inspiration to try out new options and develop new patterns that are in greater alignment with your authentic self.

EMDR Therapists
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an information processing therapy that helps clients cope with trauma, addictions, and phobias. During this treatment, the patient focuses on a specific thought, image, emotion, or sensation while simultaneously watching the therapist's finger or baton move in front of his or her eyes. The client is told to recognize what comes up for him/her when thinking of an image; then the client is told to let it go while doing bilateral stimulation.
