About My Clients
I have experience working with kids( 3+), teens, and adults who have experienced trauma, attachment ruptures or issues, depression, anxiety, as well as those navigating unique life transitions. I offer services in both English and Spanish.
My Background and Approach
I earned my master’s degree from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2020 and have worked in the trauma field in nonprofit settings since 2015. I have worked with the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, The Sexual Assault Center, and Catholic Charities of Middle Tennessee providing crisis support as well as trauma-focused treatment for children, teens, adults, and families. I am an EMDR Certified clinical that is trained in Somatic Experiencing (Advanced), Theraplay, CPC-CBT, TF-CBT and often integrate elements of parts work (IFS), sandplay, play therapy, and other attachment, trauma-informed, and person-centered approaches that best meet clients where they are. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is an integral part of the therapeutic journey and having a good fit where clients feel safe, comfortable, and respected is of the utmost importance to me.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I aim to bring sense of ease and compassion to my sessions and offer supportive and non-judgmental observations as well as strengths-based support for my clients. I enjoy working with clients of all identities and value each person’s lived experience. My goal is to offer a therapeutic space of connection and always aim to move at the client’s own pace to tap into the resiliency and capacity for growth that resides within them. Whether clients are wanting to grow their skills in coping with life’s many challenges, to know themselves more fully, or to seek healing from trauma, I am glad to meet clients in this space and feel honored to be able to collaborate with individuals and families on their therapy journey.
