Hello there! I appreciate you being here! Acknowledging the need for help and knowing where to start can be quite overwhelming. I hope that my profile will offer some insight, but please don't hesitate to reach out. We can arrange a phone or video call to answer any questions you may have and explore the potential to work together. Your well-being is important, and I'm here to assist you on this path. My mission is to empower individuals in cultivating balance, becoming more present in their daily lives, discovering joy and comfort, and fostering security in themselves, their relationships, and life itself. Our collaborative journey together involves identifying what's not working for you, while also tapping into your inner strengths and personal resources to restore balance in your life. My approach is holistic, encompassing the needs of both your mind and body. Whether you're grappling with overwhelming stress or trauma, relationship challenges, or recurring anxiety and depression, remember that seeking therapy is a courageous step forward. You deserve a secure environment to heal and grow. In our sessions, I'll approach you with empathy and evidence-based techniques, empowering you to overcome the obstacles and patterns that may be hindering your happiness and well-being.

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

Our consultation call will be a casual introduction that allows us to learn more about each other, what you are looking for in your therapy experience, and how we may be a good fit in working together. Following our call, you can take as much time as you need in making the decision to schedule our first therapy session together. You can expect our first therapy session to further discuss what brings you to therapy and form a plan of how to address your needs.

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

I have an extensive background in supporting adolescents and families, and I am equally at ease working with adults. My professional focus has centered on understanding the profound effects of trauma and stress, as well as addressing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and patterns of problematic substance use. In my practice, I am committed to cultivating a non-judgmental and comfortable environment that fosters a secure and trusting relationship with each client. I place significant value on a collaborative approach and each person’s insights, which empowers individuals to tap into their inner strengths, explore their personal histories, and develop practical strategies and coping skills. These tools are instrumental in helping clients overcome obstacles and attain their goals, ultimately fostering their well-being and growth. My approach is empathetic but also action-oriented, enabling individuals to make tangible progress in their lives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is an evidenced-based treatment approach that can be helpful in promoting awareness of the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, sensations, and choices and actions.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma informed evidenced based treatment approach that can assist folks in processing stressful experiences and traumatic events in a flexible and adaptive way that differs from traditional talk therapies.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness based practices can help individuals in promoting self-awareness and living in the present. Through mindfulness, we can learn to adaptively respond to stress and regulate our thoughts and emotions.

Somatic

Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach that helps to address symptoms related to stress and trauma. Through a somatic lens, people can learn how trauma shows up in our nervous system and work to resolve any dysregulation that may occur when we become stuck in a fight, flight, or freeze response.
