I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults through adult who are struggling with behavioral/emotional/or cognitive symptoms related to anxiety and stress. Looking below the surface, many people uncover developmental trauma, unlike an intense event, happens through our developmental growth period it is how we learned to see ourselves, sense our own innate human value and how we interacted with the world. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, difficulty doing boundaries or being assertive, self care etc.
I am a very active therapist. I enjoy working with people to identify not only the issue but also your innate strengths and amplify those. I utilize experiential neuroscience interventions and regulation exercises, many trauma interventions as well as basic CBT. I have been utilizing polyvagal theory as a foundation and have been experiencing success.
I know getting to the point you're ready to ask for help can be overwhelming and it is difficult to choose the right therapist and the right intervention. I will work with you to develop a strong working relationship to support you and your needs. Please note: due to issues with reimbursement, I am ONLY accepting Fee for Service clients at this time.
