Trauma and other adverse experiences can play a significant role in how we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. Even though we may intellectually know that our thoughts and responses aren't serving us, our wounded parts may be in the driver's seat. I create a safe and affirming space for older adolescent and adult clients to both process and develop skills to help them move away from just "surviving." I strive to embody cultural humility and a passion for social justice in my work. My goal is to partner with clients to help them develop self-compassionate understanding and foster meaningful changes in their lives.
With formal training in EMDR (pursuing Certification) and DBT, I help clients work towards desensitization and reprocessing of adverse experiences, as well as to develop skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and develop healthier relationships. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health counselor and am passionate about serving this population.
Taking steps to engage or re-engage in therapy takes courage. It is not easy to practice vulnerability and to open oneself up to painful thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy is not a "magic cure," but it can help integrate our parts stuck in emotional reliving with our present self. I look forward to walking with you for this part of your journey.
