Are you tired of coping with something painful that happened in the past? Maybe it was childhood trauma or being bullied years ago, abuse, combat, a car accident, or some other event at work or home that is causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or alone? You're looking for a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist who understands trauma and will help you to feel comfortable talking about hard things so you can feel better. You want to be able to put the painful memories behind you to feel happier, less anxious, and have healthy relationships with others. You want a good life in spite of what has happened to you. I am a trauma therapist who is dedicated to helping my clients transform pain so they can feel better again. I work best with clients who are motivated for treatment, willing to actively and consistently engage in their care. Clients I have worked with include health care providers, working professionals, artists, college students, military veterans, first responders, and people who want to break the cycle of childhood abuse that they experienced.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I would like to get to know you and a little bit about your story, in addition to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process. We will start with brief introductions, review your intake paperwork, and see if we would be a good fit to work together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Problem-Solving Therapy (PST).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients have said they feel comfortable talking with me and I make them feel safe to talk about hard things.
