Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and congratulations to you on making this crucial step towards your wellness. I am a locally based therapist with approximately 14 years of experience. I have had the pleasure of working with clients from all walks of life and it's been an invaluable experience. I have specialized training in trauma treatment (EMDR and PC) and suicide prevention. I am highly adept at working with those struggling with anxiety, trauma and mood disorders. I utilize a wide range of modalities in my practice, but tend to lean towards psychoeducational, mindfulness based and trauma therapies.
My approach to treatment is eclectic and holistic. I am a trauma based therapist and use many modalities that are person centered. l am goal oriented and want to help you to get the most out of our time together. I want each one of my clients to walk away with tangible skills and tips to reduce their symptoms.
Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience. I pride myself on being able to offer a comforting and inviting approach to treatment. I work with each of my clients at their own pace and I welcome any and all feedback to improve their experience. I relish the opportunity to be a part of the recovery and rebuilding process with each new client.
