I am a therapist with over 12 years of experience in trauma-informed therapy. I am dedicated to providing effective and compassionate therapy services. My approach is based on understanding the impact of trauma on individuals, and I tailor treatment to meet each client's unique needs. Through a collaborative and empathetic process, I work with clients to navigate their healing journey and empower them to cultivate resilience and well-being.

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

During the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they are encouraged to share their concerns, goals, and any relevant background information. I will take the time to actively listen and validate their experiences to establish a sense of trust and rapport. We will discuss their reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. Additionally, I may ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, challenges, and any previous experiences with therapy. Together, we will outline a preliminary plan for treatment and explore how we can work together to support their journey towards healing and growth.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional that loves helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what they value, and their goals for the future. My approach is warm and nonjudgemental with a great sense of humor. I am passionate about treating the whole person. I believe that mental or emotional struggles reside in both your mind and body. I will help you feel supported and guide you to learn more about yourself through a body-centric approach. I intend to help you feel a sense of relief while building insight during sessions about adaptive coping tools to use in your everyday life to help you better manage the intensity and frequency of your symptoms.

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

As a therapist, I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma and build healthier relationships. My empathetic approach and commitment to empowering clients creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. When working with clients struggling with unhealthy relationship dynamics, I draw upon my extensive experience and training in trauma-informed therapy. I understand that past experiences can significantly impact how individuals engage in relationships and may lead to harmful or dysfunctional patterns of behavior. My approach involves helping clients explore the underlying factors that contribute to these dynamics, such as past traumas, attachment styles, or communication patterns. Through compassionate exploration and insight-building, I assist clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs and behaviors. Together, we work to develop healthier coping strategies, boundaries, and communication skills that promote more fulfilling and harmonious relationships.
