I provide treatment for adults, adolescents, and children who have experienced sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect as well as other forms of trauma. I am trained and utilize multiple treatment modalities that can be helpful including TFCBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Play Therapy.

I provide treatment for adults, adolescents and children who experience problems managing worry, general anxiety, social anxiety, anxiety related to trauma, and anxiety related to a major life transition or unexpected change. The treatment I use for anxiety includes CBT, DBT, Mindfulness Skills, EMDR, and Brainspotting.

I am passionate about helping people with ADHD and have it myself. Treatment often focuses on: identifying strengths and challenges, developing skills and creative strategies to address the change client's are seeking, self-acceptance, self-compassion, building self-confidence, improving relationships, improving social skills, managing rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and women's issues related to ADHD. It often includes CBT and DBT strategies.

Play therapy is awesome and engaging! It is often used t itself or in combination with other treatment types for many clinical issues for children. It can help improve relationships and communication between parents and children and build trust needed to work on "the hard stuff". Traditional talk therapy can be boring for many younger people. Many children are excited to come to therapy when play is used. It often involves creative activities, games, stories, play with therapeutic toys.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and highly researched treatments for anxiety and it is also helpful for many other clinical issues. If your treatment goals include wanting to manage anxiety, reduce stress or build confidence, CBT could be very helpful. I provide CBT and TFCBT or trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy when this fits the needs and goals of a client I am working with.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is highly effective form of treatment for trauma and many people also believe it is helpful for other issues. EMDR is different then traditional talk therapy and involves processing thoughts and memories using a body based technique called bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements, alternating sounds, taps). This allows the brain to process painful memories and thoughts and often results in symptom reduction.
