I believe that the most effective way to help clients achieve their goals is through empathy and empowerment. Therapy is a collaborative team effort as the client is the expert in their life and experience and I, the therapist, am here to help you find the answers you need!
My specialty is in trauma-informed therapy for those with PTSD, complex trauma including childhood trauma, trauma/chronic stress from racism and oppressive systems, and sexual and gender based violence. I also work extensively with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I used EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness and CBT as treatment modalities.
