I have been working as a therapist for nearly a decade, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Currently, I work with individuals ages 16 and older and have specialized training and experience in working with men. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and specialize in addressing complex trauma, attachment concerns, and sexually problematic behaviors.
I like to approach counseling through a holistic lens based on the assumption of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. I believe that people sometimes create coping strategies that have been utilized for survival that are now obsolete. I also believe that we cannot survive in isolation. Through this I pay attention to the systemic nature of interpersonal relationships through family and key relationships and see how individuals are either empowered or powerless through them.
My goal is to provide a safe, private, and supportive space that fosters trust and open communication. Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on client involvement to encourage autonomy and self-agency. You can expect consistency and structure, along with practical tools and strategies to support meaningful growth and lasting change.
