I have extensive experience and training in the area of trauma and substance abuse. Prior to building my private practice I provided mental health to youth in the child protective services then later I provided therapeutic services in an inpatient residential treatment center for substance abuse. I am trauma informed and specialize in processing traumatic memories utilizing EMDR and integrated fragmented parts of the self by using IFS therapy.
I have found that I easily connect with my clients and am able to establish a trusting relationship where I can then empower as a guide on their healing journey. I believe inside all of us is an unharmable part that is our true self and I am someone that can remind others who they really are help guide them back to wholeness.
The first session will be a time to engage and feel safe. I hope to understand what has contributed to the client reaching out for therapy and understanding the client’s goals for a more fulfilling life.
