LMFT, 6 years of experience
I am an LMFT #137168 and LPCC# 13474. I am a multi-dynamic and integrative therapist with 8+ years of research and clinical experience. I am certified and trained in CCTP, CBT, DBT, and multiple other EBP approaches to range ages 3-65+. I enjoy expanding my treatment expertise and I am currently providing Ketamine Assisted Therapy; while currently training in EMDR and other Psychedelic Assisted Treatments. Please follow @psy_amend and @thekpractice to learn more ! I have a strengths-based and solution-focused approach. I understand therapy and trust take time to build, but I want to offer you the opportunity to begin changing your life and move towards a happier/stable environment from our initial session, and on. Therapy is your own space, so I also like to be directive and include as many of your needs and input to our treatment together. This is your time and I want you to take advantage of it. I love to hear about your wants/needs during our session and work collaboratively to approach those goals.
I usually start with a brief intro and I want you to feel comfortable and ready , so its always a collaborative approach!
I have an immense background in traumatic experiences, as well as neurological and psychological approaches based on research. I have a deep knowledge of practices such as DBT and CBT with particular emphasis on Anxiety, OCD, Depression, and Mood disorders (E.g. Bipolar), as well as personality diagnosis (e.g. BPD, Narcissism).
I enjoy working with people that are either new or experienced in treatment, but feel the need to make a change.
Understanding from a trauma perspective can help manage a lot of dysregulation. It's an extension of CBT, DBT, ACT, among others, which I am also certified and trained on!
Learning about sxs and triggers, as well as ways to manage current stress. In your own need in your own word, because this is unique for you!
I am certified in Psychedelic Assisted therapy and currently working with Ketamine Assisted Modalities.
