Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I'll be going over background information and getting a good idea of what brings you to therapy. We don't have to deep dive into anything that first session, and I promise to make it as comfortable as possible (I've done this for awhile, so I got you!) Toward the end of the first session we'll come up with an appropriate diagnosis we're both comfortable with and set treatment goals.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I use a mix of Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for most cases. For those suffering from PTSD, I use my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training which includes somatic (body) work along with narrative therapy all of which is grounded in the neuroscience of trauma. I’m not overly concerned with labels and diagnoses, I’m just here to help you make changes to function and feel better day to day.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strengths would be helping those with trauma, anxiety, postpartum and depression. I have a good list of coping skills to get you feeling better day to day. Once you're functioning more normally, we can look at what deeper issues there are and how to address them. There are several ways I like to process trauma and picking the best direction depends entirely on what you're most comfortable. I am not taking on any couples as clients currently.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have lots of training on trauma and enjoy helping with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ population- all are welcome in my practice. I am also experienced in working with postpartum clients in all phases of motherhood.
