I applaud your courage for taking this important step to get help. I have been a therapist for 20 years. I specialize in trauma, but also see people struggling with depression, anxiety, and life adjustment concerns. I have a fun sense of humor and really enjoy the journey with my clients.
I am open and interactive with clients. I try to match their energy, from quiet to outgoing. In my trauma work, I use Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Sandtray therapy (It works great for all ages!) and some Somatic Experiencing.
I want clients to feel comfortable, so my office is very relaxing and cabin-like. After the initial assessment, I help the client develop and maintain good coping skills. Then we set specific goals for resolving trauma and other concerns, and then we ease into the treatment work.
