Therapy with me is a collaborative and solution-focused process, full of practical advice and a sense of humor. Proven techniques including Trauma-Focused CBT and Expressive Arts Therapy are used to treat trauma from a whole-person approach. I also treat other mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety and bipolar and handle veterans' disability claims.
My goal for your treatment is decreasing symptoms, while empowering you in your journey to take your life back from trauma, depression, anxiety, etc. This often looks like focusing on your strengths and building self esteem, while providing tried and true interventions to use inside and outside of therapy in the middle of panic attacks, manic episodes, depression spirals and autistic meltdowns.
