My work with clients is guided by assisting with identifying the underlying emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, depression, and self-destructive behaviors. Repetitive, painful patterns can be overcome! Healing commences with understanding the root causes of our actions, not by judging them. I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction treatment, and emotional regulation. I empower clients to cultivate healthier relationships. Whether addressing PTSD, anxiety, codependency, or substance use recovery, my objective is to facilitate a transition from a state of survival to one of authentic healing.
Specialties: Trauma, Addiction, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues Treatment Approaches: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care Client Focus: Adults, Young Adults, Individuals in Recovery
I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Didactical Behavioral, and Schema therapeutic modalities to reveal to root source that influences behaviors that are misaligned with the individuals' values. The goal is to increase the understanding of behaviors and provide choice to change.

I meet clients where they are in their healing journey. Starting at the initial session rapport is built to create a safe environment in which the client can increase self awareness to maladaptive patterns of behavior that are rooted in past traumatic experiences using the Golden Thread approach. This approach allows client to access new ways of operating.
