My approach to therapy

Our therapeutic approach ensures structure within sessions through a clear framework that is utilized, discussed, and understood by both clinician and client. Sessions are goal oriented, and the effectiveness of healing, along with moving forward from trauma, is the cornerstone of our treatment style.

Most of my work is aimed towards supporting client's address unresolved sexual, emotional, mental, spiritual, & physical abuse, as well as severe childhood neglect.

Trauma generally takes the form of spiritual, physical and mental imprisonment, stealing our childlike innocence and wonder. Trauma also often systematically causes people to engage in rebellion which leads to self rejection, self sabotage, and lifelong self protection when it is unaddressed.

In therapy, we identify and process the root causes of childhood trauma and together, we learn new adaptive ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will take our time in identifying your values, desires, needs, and what compromises we will have to make in order for you to be able to regrow the garden of your mind. We will utilize a timeline method to explore your roots, essentially uncovering hardships, and supportive factors that created the identities, beliefs and values that have helped you survive the pain of your past. I will ask several clarifying questions to understand your subconscious belief system, conscious belief system, behaviors, presenting symptoms, emotional capacity, and barriers that may be interfering with the choice to release the pain of the past.
