About My Clients
My client focus includes adults struggling with life’s challenges, including grief & loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, and stressors that unfold in one’s life. (EMDR) has been a helpful treatment in decreasing and healing the symptoms of emotional distress of my clients who suffer from past trauma including traumatic loss, PTSD, and phobias.
My Background and Approach
I use a mix of evidence-based modalities including EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, strength based, and client centered approaches. I approach each client from an empathetic, empowering, and person-centered perspective. I see therapy as a collaborative effort with the goal of building on existing strengths and teaching new skills and strategies to enhance coping.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Although no one is a stranger to some form of loss, grief is a very personal experience, and no two grievers are the same. In recent and changing times, trauma, grief, and loss have increased and has become intimately familiar to many of us. Grief can take many forms, including losing a loved one or anticipating life altering experiences. It can also be experienced from the loss of health, a job, income, a home, a relationship, empty nest, retirement, and loss of self. Grief work includes recognizing the loss and learning to live and adapt to the changes, while learning to find purpose and meaning in life again. Time is precious to me, and when I'm not at work, I spend it laughing and creating meaningful memories with friends, family, and my cat Milo. I love cooking, live music, and walking on a sunny day. I also like trying new experiences by pushing through the fear of the outcome, which has created more joy in my life.
