About My Clients
Have you been feeling alone, scared, guilty and overwhelmed? Do you feel like " no one would understand what I have been through". You must be tired of the same things on repeat, same patterns, same shame, same pain, and same feelings of being anxious and depressed. I get trauma. Trauma changes our brain, but I can help you change your responses to the high and lows you are experiencing. I look forward to coming along side of you and helping you navigate ALL the things, as your therapist.
My Background and Approach
The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I have dozens of them. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create emotional regulation. I am direct and trauma focused. We'll work collaboratively to address the trauma responses, identify maladaptive techniques and create an emotional safety plan, so you feel in control of your thoughts and physical reactions more often. We'll start with what's going on in the moment and how to get control over your body and thoughts. For the past 10 years, my practice has been focused on helping individuals who have endured unimaginable trauma, such as sexual assault and human trafficking. We'll give you the ability to learn and apply trauma focused techniques to gain resilience so that you can live your life.
