About My Clients
Have you experienced loss, trauma or grief? Have you been worried about a panic attack that could come out of nowhere due to a sight, smell or even a small event? I know what you are feeling; chest tightness, shortness of breath and the feeling that the room or environment is closing in on you and you need to escape now. I know the feeling of being isolated and alone with no one who understands you or the wounds that they cannot see. My person-centered, trauma informed approach can help.
My Background and Approach
I feel that approaches to therapy vary, the same as client's do and approaches should be based on the need that you have when you make the appointment to see me. I have a lot of tools that can help you achieve your treatment goals. Tools that range from mindfulness and grounding, to mood and emotion regulation. I always strive to make sure that when we finish our time together you have at least one tool that can help you until we see each other again. For the past 8 years my goal and focus has always been and will be you and your needs. I have attended trainings over the years that help me to develop tools that I can pass onto you to help with panic, anxiety, depression, and/or trauma. The goal is to give you the ability to calm yourself in times where you feel the panic and pain setting in.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have and always will believe that it is never too late to be who you always wanted to be or to be in a place where you just "feel better". I believe that therapy is important for each of us (including myself). I know over the years therapy has helped me be a better version of myself and has helped me deal with the trauma and pain I have experienced throughout my life, when you leave our meeting I want you to feel like there is hope and you can see that light at the end of the tunnel, the same way I have when I finish talking with my therapist. I am an animal lover who believes in the healing power that they can provide and absolutely love sitting on my couch with my blanket and a good book and reading the day away!!
