Navigating change can be frustrating and scary. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss life transitions including: conflict, job adjustments, medical concerns, and grief and trauma. My goal is to help clients decrease suffering through a strong therapeutic relationship. I came to the mental health field to support children and families with neurodevelopment differences, i.e. Aspergers, ADHD, Learning Differences. Since then my work has evolved to understand how trauma impacts individual perspectives. I utilize an eclectic range of techniques to give clients a different way to understand their "truth".
Pinpointing where we have deviated from our personal paths, either through neglect or trauma, can help reduce confusion and diminish the power of fear. I am trained in EMDR and utilize it to decrease negative physiological responses. Together, we work on increasing skills and self-awareness to tackle unforeseen negative events.
My therapy practice includes support for anxiety, depression, conflict, grief, and trauma. I have experience with learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, medical concerns, and crisis. Clients benefit from seeing their stories through a "new lens". I believe understanding personal tragedy with empathy and compassion leads to improved well-being.
