My experience in mental health is varied. I am a licensed professional counselor. I have experience in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and children. I am a trauma informed therapist and my primary focus in treatment now is to work with adult survivors of trauma.
I draw from training in Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic approaches, and attachment based therapies. I am person centered. I also utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is an effective way to process stuck feelings.
Each person’s journey and healing process is unique and it is a privilege to walk alongside for a leg of the journey. I want to create a therapeutic environment that holds space for each client’s process: allowing for increased self-compassion and self-leadership while gaining an objective perspective on past and current life events. It is my joy to witness clients transform from living lives full of fear, self-criticism and pain to living empowered with peace, hope and compassion.
