I specialize in the treatment of Complex Psychological Trauma including relational trauma from abusive relationships, PTSD, and all forms of addiction including sex and other process addictions (such as pornography, gambling, and food). I have a great deal of experience working with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. I assist individuals in gaining understanding of symptoms and establishing skills to set and maintain appropriate boundaries both internally and externally, identify codependency, address denial, and improve conflict management tools.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I believe in making treatment a collaborative effort to acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life. I guide clients to find healing within oneself, identify and develop strengths, and foster hope that you can live your best life reaching your goals and overcoming obstacles. I look forward to being a part of your journey.
I provide a genuine connection with a direct, attachment-focused approach. I have had experience working with diverse cultures and believe understanding your culture and background is an important piece of understanding your life experience.
We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns.
