Hi! Nice to meet you (virtually of course). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified in Brainspotting. I specialize in working with people struggling with substance use, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD and anxiety. Self destructive behaviors are a way to cope with some underlying mental health issues and it is more effective to address the whole picture.
I blend a lot of different therapeutic approaches based on what we identify as effective in therapy. I utilize a lot of evidence based practices, but am very centered on you. I focus on identifying and using your strengths to help in your healing process. It is a mixture of using skills to feel better as well as working through old underlying beliefs or emotions that might hold you back. The ultimate goal is to have you feel as though you are progressing and moving towards your identified goal.
I like to start out with an intro session so we can get a clear idea of what you would like support around and to make sure that we are a good fit for one another. As we go through the therapeutic process, the goal is for you to feel as though you have a safe space to process what is coming up for you as well as action steps and tools to use to help you feel better. You don't have to go through this alone anymore and I want you to feel supported and respected throughout this challenging process.
