My aim is to work with clients who struggle with feeling disconnected from themselves, others, and are anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain about how they are supposed to manage all the aspects of their lives. When we push our needs aside to without taking time for ourselves, this can lead to frustration, resentment, anxiety, depression and stress. I work with you to be able to resolve the barriers that are keeping you from living a full and meaningful life.
I specialize in trauma, and attachment issues (both children and adults). I also treat mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger/impulse control, grief & loss, relationship issues. I primarily utilize CBT, DBT-informed, EMDR, Play Therapy (and the additional use of STEM activities) and Expressive Arts Therapy.
Navigating through issues on your own can be difficult and overwhelming. It helps to have someone that understands your struggle, and is willing to walk with you on your path of recovery.
