Therapy can be scary, overwhelming, and foreign. My job is to make you feel comfortable and empowered in your mental health journey. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work. I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, difficult childhoods, and/or have experienced mistrust in past therapeutic relationships. Additionally, I offer EMDR.
My style is client centered which means I am going to work to find what works best for you. My background has led me to a trauma-informed, attachment model. I think about how our childhood, early relationships, and experiences inform who we are today. Sessions may consist of trauma-informed talk therapy, utilizing grounding techniques, EMDR, CBT and DBT techniques as well as expressive techniques.
My goal is first and foremost to provide a space to be unapologetically yourself. I believe each person deserves that opportunity. The first few sessions are what I like to think of as a "vibe" check where we get to know each other. I will review policies, answer any questions you have and learn how we can best use our time together.
