Over 22 years of actively working with others to support their holistic healing journey has formed my practice to include multiple different modalities. These modalities include Cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, Mindfulness techniques and somatic therapeutic interventions. I work with Substance Use Disorder OP Treatment including MAT as well as other mental health concerns. From Acute Stress to Chronic and Complex PTSD my experiences and training can support you on your journey to long term wellness and development of the life you've always known you were capable of growing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients will leave sessions with tools to support personal development and motivation to maintain the behaviors that support development overall.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My favorite skills to use are mindfulness based although CBT and Motivational Interviewing are part of my skill set as well. Because of my history as a licensed massage therapist and yoga teacher many of the interventions I use are somatic (body) based and often enhance the cognitive processes that therapy provides.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my ingenuity and relational personality. Developing a safe space for lots or just a little disclosure is my forte. Some of the best feedback I get from clients is simply, "You really care."
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I prefer to work with self-motivated individuals working through Complex Trauma. Typically, this is recognizable with more common diagnoses of depression, anxiety, ADHD, Bi-polar disorder as well as borderline personality disorder. I am also confident working with these struggles individually.
