Complex trauma, negative moods and emotions, and strained interpersonal relationships can all have a profound impact on our ability to feel well and engage fully with the world around us. Despite these troubles, we all have an incredible capacity for growth and change. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so I work with each person individually to create a plan that works to best meet their unique needs.
I enjoy helping older teens and adults to build effective coping strategies, develop healthy boundaries, and maintain consistent self-care in order to reduce and manage their distress while integrating techniques from several therapeutic modalities, including DBT, CBT, and nervous system informed perspectives like poly-vagal theory.
If my approach sounds like comfortable fit for you, I invite you to reach out to me by phone or email. I look forward to connecting with you.
