About
On our journey through life we sometimes face challenges that lead us to seek out additional support. Life is messy and I am here to help you be intentional with your approach to treatment and pull on your strengths to get through the challenges you are facing. I work to create a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment for you to process your struggles. Together we will work to find strategies and coping skills to decrease distress and work towards healing.
I specialize in the treatment of individuals with complex and one-time trauma histories and individuals with dissociative episodes or disorders, utilizing EMDR therapy. I also work with adults with childhood and/or relational physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, anxiety and mood disorders, and life transitions.
My approach to therapy is strength-based, interpersonal, and psycho-dynamic; working alongside you in discovery. I am trained in EMDR and utilize somatic and mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavioral approaches. Call to schedule an intake appointment.
