Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to read this & congratulations on your first step to finding a therapist who’s right for you! My background is in trauma therapy, attachment focused, person-centered & cultural/relational model. Before I was a therapist I served in the military & love to work with women vets, LGTBQ+ veterans & folks in general & have a strong foundation in working with complex trauma & survivors of assault & intimate partner violence. I operate from an inclusive & anti-racist lens & work as a practitioner of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) with kiddo clients & Internal Family Systems as well as Somatic Embodiment practices as a way of helping clients to integrate their system after trauma. My dog & cat are usually in the room as I exclusively am offering telehealth at this time, so if that sounds like a good fit do reach out & we will schedule a free 15 minute conversation!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Trauma often happens quickly & without control, so recovery should be gradual & with lots of check-ins on how our sessions are going. I also offer body based exercises & grounding & psychoeducation throughout work.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I operate from an inclusive & anti-racist lens & a holistic approach to mental & community health. I also work as a practitioner of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) with kiddo clients & Internal Family Systems as well as Somatic Embodiment practices as a way of helping clients to integrate their system after trauma.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my nonjudgmental & compassionate presence I bring all my work. Genuine empathy & compassion, as well as humor are my style. I have extensive experience in high schools, jails, & working with intersections of identity & marginalization. LGTBQ+ folks, those experiencing grief, divorce, military veterans & survivors are areas of expertise.
