About My Clients
I believe in a holistic approach that focuses on a patient’s strengths. The mind, body, and spirit need to be addressed for a successful outcome. I work with my clients to recognize symptoms and develop an integrative model of therapy that will address the whole person and their specific needs. I provide individual counseling and work with adults and adolescents. My areas of interest are trauma, PTSD, Lyme and autoimmune, depression, anxiety, chronic illness and transitional issues.
My Background and Approach
I am integrative and draw from many different modalities including EMDR, somatic psychotherapy, Brainspotting and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. A consistent theme I’ve heard from clients is that I excel at recognizing symptoms and developing a treatment plan. I am a trauma informed therapist and have completed advanced training with the Ferentz Institute with a certification in trauma. I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and certified EMDR therapist and a full member of EMDRIA. I have advanced training in integrating somatic psychotherapy with EMDR, called Natural Processing. It is a process-oriented somatic psychotherapy that decreases or soothes the trauma that is remembered in the body where you “feel” triggered. Natural Processing can be appropriate for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, illness, phobias, panic attacks, autoimmune and Lyme.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am comfortable counseling from a faith-based perspective and incorporating prayer when it fits my client’s existing beliefs and needs. I personally went undiagnosed with Lyme disease for years, the struggles I encountered were real. I have a unique understanding of autoimmune and Lyme disease and its impact on emotional health.
