I have always wanted to support others in meeting their full potential. To me this means supporting others in seeing themselves as whole and beautifully flawed. When we can acknowledge and love all parts of ourselves we are so much closer to that potential. I often hear from clients that they know what they should do to heal, but find themselves stuck in old patterns. With my training in whole body healing such as EMDR and Brainspotting, we can learn new ways of being. I also provide animal assisted therapy with my co- therapist Koda Bear.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Establishing safety and connection are my first priority when we meet for our first session as well as getting to know the history of what brings you to therapy today.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am first and foremost a social worker, this means that I want to understand you within the context of your environment. I look at you and the experiences you carry from a systems and neurobiological perspective. Nothing we experience happens in a vacuum and understanding your patterns and how your environments have shaped you is of utmost importance. I am trained in Brainspotting and EMDR. Both are powerful healing tools for depression, trauma recovery anxiety, and other psychological needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clinical strengths are in the work I do with trauma. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable and healing space.
