I specialize in supportive validating psychotherapy- I have developed my skills working in mental health over 20 years. I am passionate about my work and believe in the power of connection to help promote change in therapy- I use Mindfulness DBT skills and EMDR as my primary helping modalities- I will meet you where you are at and help you remove your blocks to finding happiness. Whether you need to change or learn acceptance- therapy can be a useful tool in this process.
In our first session I will find out the concerns that bring you to therapy- we will use the session to decide if we are a good fit to work together.
I am experienced and non-judgmental. I love to teach my clients new approaches to working with their problems.
My ideal client has some motivation for change and would like to learn and grow in therapy.
I am trained in EMDR and use it to assist in reducing difficult emotions and symptoms like anxiety and intrusive thoughts. EMDR helps clients tap their internal healing capacity and promotes change.
I am trained in DBT and love to teach client new tools to increase insight and improve coping. The model has a lot of skills to draw from so I teach my clients new tools for dealing with problems such as strong emotions
