My area of expertise is working with trauma ranging from acute, chronic, and complex. I have experience in working with childhood trauma, domestic violence, natural disasters, physical abuse, and car accidents. I also have experience working with anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, depression, dissociation, grief, life changes, and post-traumatic stress. From my experience, I have learned that everyone has the capacity, inner resources, and resiliency in them to change and heal.
Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. When we take a moment to acknowledge this, it influences curiosity and openness. This can then lead us to changes that we are hoping for. I believe that curiosity, openness, and hope, lay the foundation and groundwork to yield a successful outcome in therapy. This new foundation will allow us to heal from the past, overcome adversity we have in the present, and thrive in our future.
I believe that there is no cookie cutter way to approach therapy, so my style is more eclectic. I believe in using whatever is best suited for the client. I practiced from a trauma-informed perspective and some of the orientations that I incorporate into my practice include: EMDR, IFS, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. In addition, I also incorporate working with the body as a holistic approach.
