I have specialties in trauma, grief, and loss as my primary focus. In order to get this training, I’ve worked with programs in hospitals, with parole, and on the VA campus, as well as within LGBTQ+ community and programs focused on BIPOC clients. I've usually worked within a few areas at a time to make sure I can reach and create the best practice possible with all my potential/current clients. I also really enjoy/am familiar with working with anxiety disorders (PTSD, CPTSD, OCD, GAD), depressive disorders, Bipolar disorder, personality disorders, family systems, intergenerational trauma, and... really whatever you need to process, including life events like break ups or respectful divorces. I work with families, couples/throuples, and individuals.
My session is set up based on the client’s needs. I can speak science, I can speak art, I am direct, and believe in the e healing of laughter. Session can be venting about work, discussing childhood trauma, or anything in between. Whatever you need when we speak. I can also break therapy down into more practical applications by discussing about how to apply what we have discussed each week. Theory is wonderful, but practical applications create change.
My biggest strengths according to my clients are my “realness”, along with being nonjudgmental, smart, kind, and occasionally funny. I asked them.
Trauma, ptsd, anxiety disorders, family systems, life change,
I fit the treatment to the client so I’m able to use various modalities during treatment
