You have come to the right place if you are looking for a therapist with an engaging style and lots of clinical knowledge. I have a special interest in exploring how relationships, childhood experiences, and trauma affect our daily experience of ourselves and others. I am a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT). Additionally, I have experience treating addiction and sobriety maintenance issues in an outpatient setting.
My therapy process focuses first on helping clients manage symptoms that are interfering with daily life, like depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and unhealthy relationships. Once these issues are better managed, I help the client take a deeper look at how these symptoms are connected to family-of-origin (childhood) and/or traumatic experiences.
Although I always approach client care with a respect for individual needs, I take a lot of inspiration from models of therapy that appreciate how family-of-origin experiences and trauma shape our capacity to cope with stress and trust others. I am always honored to begin this difficult but rewarding journey with clients!
