I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adult individuals with attachment and developmental trauma, PTSD recent traumatic events, and anxiety using mind-body approaches and attachment informed EMDR via telehealth. I've noticed that a lot of people with trauma and anxiety seem to benefit from using attachment-informed EMDR and parts work approaches that help you get to know the inner parts of yourself. Using a combination of these approaches can help with resolving inner conflict, connecting that sense of the "inner child" to healing and resources, and increasing inner strength and a sense of agency in your life decisions. I will use guided imagery in therapy and like to focus on the mind and body connection. I am also a big fan of weaving in values and mindfulness-based cognitive approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your concerns with me at your own pace and to whatever depth you are comfortable with. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are and what approaches I bring that can help. We will establish what goals you would like to see happen with therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring an open, empathic non-judgmental presence to therapy. People who know me often say that I am a good listener who can sit with people at their worst and be present with them when they are in that space. I am generally quiet but I focus on being attuned, understanding how the pieces fit, and bringing you back to safety.
