Choosing to engage in a therapeutic relationship is an opportunity for growth, and can be a scary decision to make; I appreciate your presence here. My goal is to create a comfortable environment to help you navigate the challenges and changes in your life. My passion lies in working with people coping with trauma, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. In our sessions we will work together on your goals for lasting change.
I have obtained specialized training in trauma and I bring a trauma-informed foundation to my work with clients. I am trained in EMDR and in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addressing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have spent over two years providing trauma-focused therapy in a Child Advocacy Center. I draw from a variety of emotion and cognitive-focused approaches to provide personalized care.
I value your perspective on your experiences and I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between the client and therapist. My approach to therapy is centered around building a therapeutic relationship as well as helping you to identify and utilize your strengths. I would love to meet with you to see if I am a good fit as you continue on your journey of healing and positive change.
