About My Clients
My clients are often living with chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, or other conditions that make traditional therapy difficult to access. They may be tired of having to push through symptoms, travel to an office, sit in one position, or structure their day around a therapy appointment. Many have tried traditional therapy or trauma approaches such as EMDR but are looking for something more flexible and individualized. They want to do meaningful trauma work while still honoring what their b
My Background and Approach
I offer a supportive and collaborative approach, balancing validation with challenging ineffective thought and behavior patterns. Trained in The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), I use a blend of somatic experiencing and parts-work to help my client's tap into why they do the things they do. In other words, when we get the "Yes, but ..." When we know something is ineffective, yet we just can’t seem to stop. Parts work helps to shine a light on the driving reasons behind problematic thoughts and behaviors to bring about change. Using a trauma informed lens, I focus on helping my clients to regulate their nervous system activation: the flight, fight, freeze, fawn responses. By labeling and identifying emotions, client's will be able to manage and regulate these feelings and stop feeling hijacked by them. I also have extensive experience working with chronic illness and helping clients to better understand symptom development and rediscover a meaningful quality of life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you are the expert in your own life. As a therapist, I'm passionate about helping people rediscover their purpose, passions, and core self. I understand that the best marker for change comes from the therapeutic relationship. Because of this, I aim to build a strong connection with my clients so that they feel seen, comforted, and supported. Change happens through feeling valued and feeling a sense of belonging. I constantly strive to make the therapeutic space a welcoming place for my clients to feel valued, supported, and accepted.
