I am a LCSW/Psychotherapist practicing in Syracuse, NY. w/clinical experience working w/adults, adolescents, children, & families. I am a Certified Trauma Resiliency Model/TRM® Practitioner & Consultant, a Certified Community Resiliency Model/CRM® Skills Teacher. Additional training: Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience (DARe), the Fairy Tale Model and Progressive Counting, FOCUS Family Resilience Provider, Circle of Security, Seeking Safety, Brazelton Touchpoints & Incredible Years.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, trauma-informed, resiliency-focused, & strength-based. Psycho-education regarding the effects of trauma/stress and the relationship between mind & body & effective wellness skills are integrated into the therapeutic process.
Clients will have a better understanding about the natural ways in which our brains/nervous systems work to protect us, normalizing their own biological responses to trauma/stress. Clients will have the opportunity to learn and utilize wellness skills they can practice & integrate into their activities of daily living, thereby building resilience, alleviating distressing symptoms, and promoting self-determination, wellness, and healing.
