About My Clients
I enjoy working with adults that want to get to the root cause of their distress or symptoms. I specialize working with individuals who often feel dysregulated, depressed, and/or anxious. I help clients identify their thought patterns and beliefs and help clients in changing them. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and/or Brainspotting to help clients tap into their inner brain - where memories, beliefs, and automatic responses (fight, flight, freeze) are stored.
My Background and Approach
Therapy is hard work and I am here to walk you through it. My role in sessions is to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and assist you in moving a little further towards your goals. I often work with people who are seeing a therapist for the first time in their lives. You can expect to be feel heard, validated, relieved, challenged, and understood. I help you understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and how to incorporate relaxation/mindfulness techniques into your daily life. I am experienced in working with adults with childhood trauma, survivors of sexual abuse, and parents of trauma victims. When doing this type of work, I often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and/or Brainspotting. I happy to explain what that process is like.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every person should be respected and valued regardless of religion, race, orientation, gender, or beliefs. I have experienced the benefits of doing intensive therapies such as EMDR and Brainspotting. Both modalities help get to the root cause of mental health symptoms and decrease distress. I offer extended therapy sessions (three hour sessions) to allow clients to see the most benefit as fast as possible. I often encourage clients to find times in their day for self-care, even if it's 30 seconds. My own self-care includes spending time, listening to audiobooks, getting outside as much as possible, and day-dreaming of running an animal rescue farm.
