Hello. I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience. I am passionate about helping my clients feel comfortable as well as processing their specific concerns. My specialty is trauma along with associated symptoms. I am trained to work with clients who are also experiencing symptoms stemming from grief, life transitions, ADHD, depression and anxiety. I feel that the relationship between client and therapist is the most important part along this journey.
In your first session you will become familiar with my style and level of comfort that I aim to provide for each client. The relationship between therapist and client are one of the most important parts in this process.
I consider myself to be caring/empathetic as well as use humor when appropriate. My ability to relate to any client is one of my greatest strengths.
I am experienced in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, live stages, ADHD, grief and general life experiences.
IFS treatment methods include insight development into complex, painful and confusing symptoms related to trauma of any type to understandable and relatable explanations and treatment. Unlike other types of treatment for trauma this is one of the most effective treatments and evidenced based method.
In this type of therapy utilization of cognitions and the relation to behaviors focuses on how trauma has intertwined into the psyche. This is another approach that adds to the effectiveness and understanding of personal experiences.
CBT is an effective tool or addition to most all types of treatments. It relies on understanding how cognitions effect thoughts and thoughts effect behaviors. This is an effective tool to understanding how and why we think what we do.
