I am a trauma-focused therapist with expertise working with adolescents and adults. Since obtaining my LCSW in 2018, I have worked with youth and their families in juvenile justice and residential treatment settings. I am passionate about helping people overcome their past struggles and live their best lives.
My approach to therapy includes a mixture of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. My focus is always on empowering the client to make the changes that they choose in order to improve their lives.
My clients can expect to receive education about how trauma affects our minds and bodies and skills training in emotion regulation techniques. For clients who have learned to manage their strongest emotions, therapy will include exploring the thoughts, emotions and action urges related to past traumatic experiences as well as exploring the traumas themselves, with the goal of understanding and making meaning of life experiences.
