What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our intake session will involve review of paperwork (about ten minutes) to sign and ask any questions you may have then you have the floor to tell me what brings you to therapy and what you are looking for. We have all had times when everything is too overwhelming to think straight – literally. At those times you may welcome a guiding hand with less active decision making. At other times you may know exactly what you want to work on and want to be an active part of choosing the next turn to take. Great! Ultimately, it needs to be your life and your goals. Provided the choice does not put yourself or others in immediate danger – you get to choose with as little or much direction is welcomed.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I offer support and flexibility in healing for adults trapped in the aftermath of trauma when the worst has happened. Trauma impacts us all differently and because of that I am willing within ethical and legal boundaries to adapt to you as the client to help you meet your individual needs.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

Trauma-informed CBT is like a roadmap for healing after tough times. It's designed to help you feel safe and supported as you work through the stuff that's been bothering you. You'll learn ways to handle tough feelings and thoughts that might be holding you back. It's like giving you tools to unpack your emotional baggage at your own pace. The goal? To help you feel stronger, more in control, and ready to move forward in life. It's like a trusted friend guiding you towards a brighter tomorrow.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a bit like a mental superhero for trauma recovery. It helps you deal with painful memories by using eye movements or taps. It's like reprogramming your brain's response to those memories, making them less distressing. You won't forget what happened, but it's like changing how you feel about it. It's kind of like rewriting a scary story so it's not so scary anymore. This can make a big difference in how you cope with the past and move forward with more peace and strength. I have been working with clients with EMDR for over four years and it can prove to be a wonderful surprise to clients at how much our subconscious can change.
