Therapy provides a unique opportunity to develop a safe and supportive relationship to assist in creating meaningful change. After years of training and practice I have come to realize that this change must involve a deeper healing. As human beings we experience challenges throughout our lives that can feel overwhelming and often traumatic. Without the support, skills or resources in these times we end up needing to develop short term coping strategies that may be causing long term problems. I specialize in working with adults and couples struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, guilt/shame, trauma and/or relationship difficulties.
I hold a BA in Psychology from Stanford University and MS in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I am trained in a number of different modalities - Deep Brain Reorienting (I am an Approved DBR Practitioner and Consultant in Training), EMDR, Structural Dissociation theory, Mindfulness, DBT Skills and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Together we will identify what experiences, strategies, and cycles are causing you distress and will work with your system to help you to heal and feel whole again. I encourage you to reach out when you feel ready to start this journey.
