As a trauma therapist with years of experience, I am deeply invested in each client's healing journey. I pride myself on being personable and approachable, creating a safe and supportive environment for you. My extensive experience and confidence in my therapeutic skills allow me to effectively guide you through the process of understanding and overcoming trauma. I am committed to your well-being and dedicated to helping you achieve lasting change and resilience.

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

The first intake session with me is akin to your initial visit to a doctor's office, where we focus on identifying and understanding your "emotional pain." During this session, I will ask you a series of questions to get to know you, your story, and the presenting symptoms that brought you to therapy. We will explore various aspects of your life, including your personal history, family background, experiences with trauma, and any current challenges you are facing. Just as a doctor inquires about the location, intensity, and duration of physical pain, I will ask you to describe the nature of your emotional and psychological struggles. This process helps me gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique experiences and the impact they have had on your well-being. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story, and to begin identifying the areas we will work on together to promote healing and growth.

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

As a clinician, I believe my greatest strength is my ability to truly hear and see my clients where they are in their journey. I am deeply committed to understanding their unique experiences, emotions, and challenges. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel validated and supported. My approach is to meet clients exactly where they are, honoring their pace and readiness for change. I am dedicated to walking this journey with them, providing compassionate guidance and support as they navigate their path toward healing and growth. This empathetic and client-centered approach fosters trust and empowerment, allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and understood.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

As a trauma therapist, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you cope with trauma by teaching you to accept your thoughts and feelings instead of resisting them. We will focus on identifying and embracing your emotions, staying present, and taking actions that are in line with your values. By acknowledging your experiences and focusing on positive actions, you can minimize the effect of trauma on your daily life and develop resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a trauma therapist, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients understand and change their thought patterns and behaviors to reduce trauma symptoms. It focuses on identifying negative beliefs from the trauma, challenging these beliefs, and developing healthier thought patterns. The goal is to help clients regain control, reduce distress, and improve coping strategies.

Brainspotting

As a trauma therapist, Brainspotting helps you process trauma by locating points in your visual field that correlate with emotional distress. We'll use your eye position to access these "brain spots" where trauma is stored. By focusing on these spots, we can unlock and process deep-seated emotions and memories. This method allows your brain to self-scan and heal, often reaching issues that traditional talk therapy can't. Brainspotting is gentle, yet effective, providing a safe way to work through trauma and promote healing.
