I am a Licensed Mental health counselor who has been in practice for over 6 years . I am certified in trauma informed stabilization treatment and becoming certified in EMDR. I also working on eating disorder certification. I specialize in treating trauma, eating disorders, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am a strength based therapist who utilizes current strengths of an individual to help them achieve balance and harmony and healing
I use an approach that focuses on achieving harmony and balance through feeling secure and living by your values. The way that this is accomplished is by identifying roles you play and how well you function in these roles. I also use psycho-education to explain the impact that different events and experiences have on these different roles and in particular the role that trauma can play in achieving that balance or wise minded state.
Clients can expect to gain knowledge of their attachment styles and also around how different types of trauma impacts the brain. They will be able to connect to behaviors including eating disorders, depression, anxiety dissociation, suicidal ideation to understand and no longer use them. They will also be able to work on healing any trauma that they have experienced that have made these behaviors feel necessary and build on skills of resilience that they already have to help heal old wounds.
