Welcome to Heale! Learn, Grow and Heal... Individuals have the strength and resources to meet their needs and solve their unique problems. Oftentimes, we get stuck in patterns of communication and/or behaviors which no longer meet our needs. Change occurs when individuals are provided the safety and security of expression, validation, exploring problems, underlying patterns of behaviors or unmet needs and identifying solutions. I work to empower individuals to take steps towards recovery.
I utilize various skills and interventions aimed to identify problems, thoughts, behaviors and/or past trauma which halt progression towards goals. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory. I use trauma-informed skills in all interventions. Let’s work together to create the change you desire
