About My Clients
Are you struggling with shaking old habits, managing your anxiety, channeling strong emotions, or navigating relationship conflicts? We can work together to help you understand why you are feeling stuck and how to move forward. I also specialize in helping people understand and heal from past trauma and other difficult life experiences. My clients tell me that our work has helped them feel more at peace, connected, confident, and free to pursue the things they want in life.
My Background and Approach
Throughout my 20yrs. of work as a therapist and clinical supervisor, I have supported clients experiencing a wide range of challenges. I’m trained in several evidence-based practices that help people shift stuck patterns and thrive after challenging experiences, including DBT, ERP for OCD, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and EMDR. I am flexible in how I use these approaches and open to integrating other healing practices that feel meaningful to my clients. Some of my clients prefer a very structured and short-term approach that focuses on a single, specific problem. Others need more time to explore their inner worlds and gradually address broad themes that keep reemerging in their lives. I won’t assume that I know what you need or want. We will create a path forward that feels right to you.
My Values as a Therapist
I believe it’s important to keep learning and considering what I might not understand. A decade into my career, I returned to school for a Ph.D. in Community Psychology so that I could gain deeper training in multiple evidence-based trauma healing approaches and do community-based research that highlights injustices in the criminal legal system. to produce research that highlights injustices in the criminal legal system. I bring this dual attention to individual and collective experiences into my therapy work. While I value research as a means to find out what approaches are consistently helpful, I also understand there are many paths to healing that research has not highlighted. Ultimately, I aim to create a that draws on your wisdom and aligns with your values.
