Specializes in

Trauma

Great to meet you!

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field working with youth and adults for various topics such struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, and Anger.

I am currently a clinical supervisor full time and offer telehealth therapy to clients during the week in the evenings.

My passion and focus have been centered on trauma therapy, using EMDR, psychoeducation, TF-CBT, CBT and DBT approaches.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Psychodynamic Theory

The main focus and energy are on analyzing past relationships and, in particular, traumatic childhood experiences in relation to an individual’s current life. The belief is that by revealing and bringing these issues to the surface, treatment and healing can occur.

This will be blended with cognitive approaches and including neurobiology concepts.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy will be challenging and short term, plan on having homework to practice new behaviors and discussing intense topics with knowing you have support by your side.

My approach is to empower your through understanding yourself, while understanding the why and what, while identifying changes you would like to make in your life and healing through self-compassion.

Therapy is typically 6-12 months.
