About My Clients
I work with clients who may be struggling with symptoms related to being human. Sometimes these symptoms include PTSD, shame, anxiety, depression, and grief. We will spend the first few sessions building a therapeutic alliance and developing goals for treatment. My goal as your therapist is to help you achieve the transformation you are seeking. Having clear goals and objectives will be an important foundation for our work together. I work with individual adults young and old alike.
My Background and Approach
I believe that we are all masterpieces in the making and am honored to have been in the field for 20 years. I am a trauma therapist and am passionate about EMDR treatment. I am int he process of becoming an EMDR consultant and am EMDRIA certified in the SAFE-EMDR treatment model. I also practice IFS, mindfulness, Brainspotting and supervision. While I have this expertise I believe that what is most important in working with individuals is therapeutic fit and safety. I approach treatment with the humility to know that you are the expert on your life and my expertise lies in honoring you and our work together. I have worked in a variety of settings including rape crisis, domestic violence shelters, mental health clinics, private practices, hospitals, and schools. I also provide supervision for social workers in Maryland and DC. I am skilled in working both with survivors of religious trauma as well as with religious people.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy is a sacred time to explore your humanness with a compassionate professional. Coming to therapy is a brave step in your own desire for change. Through our shared humanity we will create a safe environment for you to explore whatever it is that you are looking to transform. I am here to offer my expertise to help support you in reaching your goals. As an EMDRIA certified therapist and consultant in training, I can help you become clear on negative beliefs that are getting in the way of your quality of life. Being able to work with you would be an honor. Finding the right therapeutic fit can be challenging.
