When someone takes that first step to begin their therapeutic process, it is important to focus on finding the right interventions and modalities to begin their journey towards healing and growth. Creating a safe space for an individuals healing journey is an important piece of the therapeutic services provided at Integrative Psychological Services.
I have worked in the field since 2017 providing trauma-informed care to children, teens, adolescents, and adults. I have been trained in the following modalities: EMDR, CPT, play therapy, nature therapy, TF-CBT, AF-CBT, and expressive arts. Creating individualized treatment plans is an important piece of your healing process.
I believe that utilizing creative, holistic, and expressive approaches creates a space for healing while utilizing different ways to process trauma, feelings, grief, and emotions. I will walk alongside you as you embark on the journey of your healing and growth.
