I have 3 children and love spending time with them in my free time. I also have a dog, a cat, 2 sugar gliders and a hamster who also takes up a lot of my time! I enjoy traveling when possible, gardening, and baking.
First session
On your first session with me, you can expect to answer several questions about what brings you to therapy along with your background in order to assess what your needs are. I typically will also be able to tell you my tentative recommendations by the end of the first session.
Strengths
I feely greatest strengths as a provider include the amount of empathy I have for my clients, my non-judgemental approach, and my willingness to learn about different types of therapy to help my clients. I don't feel there is only one way to approach a problem which is why I like using a mixture of several techniques to help people with their mental health.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with a wide variety of people, but I find working with people who have suffered from traumatic events in their lives is where my passion lies. I utilize several different modalities to help decrease traumatic response as well as help to find my client's true selves. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems) are the main types of therapy used in my practice, but I am always willing and trying to learn more techniques that could be helpful to my clients.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I have been utilizing EMDR in my practice for the past 2 years now. It has been life changing for many people with trauma, anxiety and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use several concepts of CBT during talk therapy sessions. It's been helpful to many people to the about the way you think.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am certified in DBT and have used it some in my practice.
