About My Clients

In my seven years of practice I have worked with a wide range of clients. I understand there are many reasons why someone may be seeking therapy. Whether that is processing a recent trauma or one stemming from childhood, ongoing depression and anxiety, challenging distorted thought patterns that lead to maladaptive behavior or poor self-image or substance abuse issues.

My Background and Approach

I create a safe environment where individuals can process their thoughts and emotions free of judgement or bias. My job is to help you identify what your goals are, and create realistic, workable steps to reach them. I have extensive experience working with and specialize in adults who are survivors of childhood trauma including sexual, physical and emotional abuse. It is important to understand how things that may have happened decades ago, can still impact our daily functioning, relationships, and attachment styles. My goal is to help the individual process this trauma, and therefore release feelings of guilt, anger and abandonment associated with their childhood trauma. I use evidence-based practices to help others manage and cope with an array of diagnoses. I have most commonly worked with those struggling with manic depression, Personality disorders, anger management, generalized and specific anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, substance use disorders, ASD, PTSD and ADHD.
