I will support clients in understanding their struggles and creating healthier relationships with all of their loved ones.
We will collaborate to identify and work towards the changes you want to see, brainstorm ways to overcome patterns you feel stuck in, and support you in gaining the insight needed for progress. We will identify and celebrate each moment of progress.

My therapeutic approach is relational, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I bring empathy, humor, and a nonjudgmental approach to the therapy space. I use a holistic perspective to the work that allows for shared exploration.
Start with what you need right now to feel better and safe. Then, we'll focus on more sustainable strategies to go forward. We'll work to understand how the past influences the present, and what would make the future more fulfilling and satisfying.

Your current coping may have helped you survive, "a way out of no way." We start with self-compassion and curiosity about what's not working for you. We'll focus on small positive actions and consider new perspectives.
Reconnect with the mind and body, learn and practice coping skills, discuss what happened to you, and finally move forward with peace and self-empowerment!

I use mindfulness techniques to create a safe space in therapy and help clients feel safer in their bodies. I also teach cbt skills that help clients gain control of their intrusive and/or negative thinking.
There will likely be laughter and tears, difficult conversations, "Aha" moments, and a challenge to be honest with yourself. We will connect to create a calm/safe space. You will re-learn confidence, re-train unhealthy attachments and learn coping.

I treat trauma through the lens of mind/body connection. I primarily use EMDR, which bridges the trauma stored in your body/mind/spirit to allow healing, CBT, which helps you identify and replace unhealthy thoughts, and DBT to teach coping skills
