Focusing on the therapeutic relationship I build a foundation with you to work from a trauma-focused approach, also using harm reduction, Cognitive Behavioral and
Dialectical
Behavioral therapies.
Therapy allows the parties involved to enter into a journey unlike any other. Throughout this journey I follow closely along with you to help you identify those areas you are looking to challenge, and those you may be unaware of as well. As humans we typically hold back in what we truly want to say or what we believe, I do my best to help you navigate those different nuances of what is said and what isn’t said; to help you become more aware of those conscious and unconscious thought patterns that you may be working through.

I like to help my clients learn about intense emotions coming in waves like on an ocean and how to notice body sensations which then escalate into undesired behaviors. With a combination of CBT and
DBT
tools, I like to educate my clients about the purpose and necessity of all emotions and how to step away from feelings that could result in "problem behaviors" which only make things worse. Once we learn how to manage this phenomena, we can feel successful to move on to work on more difficult relationships in our adult lives that cause us trouble whether it be interpersonal familial, or work.

Psychologist, PsyD

My training is based in CBT approaches, such as ACT and
DBT

I work with individuals looking to fundamentally change the way they relate to themselves, to break free from the burden of impossible standards and feelings of inadequacy. Often this involves investigation into the ways we relate to ourselves and to the ways we can punish or sabotage ourselves. Working together, we can find new ways to cope that allow you to live a more vital and authentic life, less encumbered by anxiety and stress. I believe that this kind of work represents no less than liberation from the doubts and fears that stop you from living your own best life.

I utilize
DBT
and Exposure therapy to help my clients confront their trauma memories while safely processing their emotions about the event.
Anger, shame, anxiety, depression, and perfectionism are emotions and traits that can be caused by trauma. Unresolved trauma can negatively affect our current relationships and family dynamics. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you in order to manage trauma-related symptoms and reach a more meaningful state. I utilize a client-centered approach in order to create a safe space for my clients to process unresolved feelings/reactions. Forming a meaningful connection allows us to create a space that welcomes vulnerability, and the therapeutic relationship is just as important as the therapeutic modality.
