Hello! I am an experienced therapist that has helped others with numerous personal and family issues. I look at the process of therapy as a journey we go on together so I can learn about your life and help you recognize your strengths and help you gain insight into triggers. I have been a licensed therapist for 10 years. I specialize in trauma and am trained in specific techniques including DBT and EMDR to help process your past and gain calming coping skills. I emphasize the use of journaling and meditation to gain knowledge about yourself between sessions and help you process your past in a safe place. I have worked within addiction and family systems and have experience teaching boundaries and communication skills to help you improve important relationships in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
What to expect in the first session is for me to learn about your life experiences. I typically have you review a timeline of your life and your current symptom list so can together see what from your past is effecting your current state of mind.
