About My Clients
Have you felt disconnected from yourself, stuck or without direction in life? Have you experienced a deep sense of self-doubt, trouble making decisions, easily overwhelmed or dysregulated? I understand the impact of toxic shame and trauma. Trauma comes in all shapes and forms from big 'T' trauma and to relational trauma. Shame is an attachment related wound, and our focus is to help heal the emotional abandonment experienced, improve self-esteem and regain a sense of identity.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in using DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy and Family systems. I spent the first half of my career as a therapist working in residential and outpatient facilities providing trauma informed care to families and adults. It was in the earlier stages of my career that I understood how attachment related trauma and the lack of adequate coping can inform our present-day actions and triggers. Shifting into private practice I specialized in working with adolescents and adults recovering from relationship addiction, enmeshment, physical health issues, and more. The work in our sessions is not about 'fix'ing but about reconnecting to yourself. I help my clients learn to emotionally regulate, respond instead of reacting to triggers, learn what real boundaries mean, deal with challenges and enhance resilience.
