About My Clients
I specialize in working with adolescents, families, couples and adults. I believe in a client-centered, systemic approach to therapy and integrate the client’s biopsychosocial factors into treatment as well as coordinating care between health care providers. It is my responsibility to create and foster a safe environment by building trust and rapport with my clients so they feel comfortable in challenging themselves experiencing difficult emotions and attempting new & healthier ways of living.
My Background and Approach
I gravitate toward an integrative and systemic approach that is client-centered and rooted in relational theories and evidence-based practices. I take on a trauma-informed approach to care in order to support, collaborate with, empower and create corrective emotional experiences with my clients. I am EMDR and DBT trained and also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory and Polyvagal Theory. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and have extensive experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, BPD, bipolar, grief/loss, troubled relationships and life transitions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a marriage and family therapist, it is in my code of ethics to embody an accepting, inclusive, and appreciative approach to all of my clients and hold myself to a set of high standards when it comes to my ethical practice. I believe in a client centered, strength based approach where the client is in charge of their treatment. I am non-discriminatory and like to integrate a biopsychosocial approach to therapy that is very client centered to acknowledge the different systems at play and impacting the client in the present. I appreciate and acknowledge the resources clients have to invest in therapy (including time and money) and hold myself accountable to provide the very best care that I can and always further my own knowledge and skills to be able to best support my clients on their journey.
