I have experience in forensic psychology, harm reduction and provide therapy using a trauma informed lense as it's important to consider all factors contributing to today's presenting challenges.

Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In out first session I will go over what to expect from therapy, introductions, and then I will get to learn about you, what brings you to therapy and ultimate goal in order to begin creating a plan for your individualized sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with clients who have gone through complex traumas, I have seen the power of insight building to improve overall quality of life. I am very insight oriented in helping my clients make their own connections. My goal is to provide my clients with lasting tools they can continue to use and implement even after therapy. I like to help my clients feel empowered and regain ownership of their lives and feel confident to make autonomous decisions in their own journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to begin making changes in their lives, however, might be feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed by other external factors. My clients are usually in college and if not, considering what career path to take. Often times clients also come in due to family dynamics that are now overbearing and impacting my client's overall well being, and come into therapy to figure out what else is there to do.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
I practice through an attachment based lenses, meaning I consider all attachment wounds experienced throughout childhood. I also consider psychosocial factors, relationship wounds especially with folks who have experienced recurrent trauma throughout their lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Perhaps an individual is seeking therapy for a safe space, where they know they will receive unconditional positive regard and process any life events they may be experiencing and therefore, seeking a neutral therapist to help guide them through that adjustment in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Having self awareness of how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all interconnected is an excellent long term tool to obtain and utilize outside of therapy and not feel the need to rely on and wait until your next therapy session.
Trauma Informed Care
I have over 6 years of experience in the mental health field providing trauma informed care. Additionally, I am Trauma Focused Certified to also provide the option of a more structured therapy format if preferred and ready to process an adverse event or traumatic moment in your life.
