I understand what it is like to struggle with anxiety and depression. I like to use CBT and DBT as beginning coping skills for these issues, but build in common-sense and easy-to-use skills in order to help reduce/eliminate depression and anxiety.

I am trauma-informed and use many modalities to help those struggling with trauma through a lens of understanding and gentleness. I hope to rewire trauma responses in the brain to be able to allow you to respond to stressors in a more regulated way. I am EMDR trained and hope to become certified in the near future. I like to use EMDR, Trauma Treatment Toolbox, Inner Child/Parts Work, and others to support you through your journey toward peace.

Relationships can be tricky without understanding certain components like healthy communication and conflict resolution. I like to use Gottman Couple's Therapy, ACT, and Family Systems Therapy. Many of the tools I use help to aid in making you partners against a problem instead of enemies against each other, no matter what type of relationship it is. I want to help make you the best version of yourself with good self-love and then help with interdependence.

I like to use a variety of treatment types to meet your needs. I am very solution-focused because I am here to help be a guide and supporter with your mental health and emotional needs. As we look for the right solutions for you, I am also going to use a person-centered approach as well because it is your life and I want it to be worth living for you.

I am EMDR trained and looking to get certified soon. While I use EMDR a lot for treating trauma, I like to use a variety of treatment modalities. No matter what, we will likely start with some CBT/DBT for coping skills and dive into rewiring those trauma responses so you can process the traumatic memories that cause the responses.

I like to start with CBT and DBT for coping skills. They are usually researched-based, simple, and easy strategies to implement, especially when dysregulated. I like common-sense approaches to therapy treatments, as well as approaches that easily accessible for a variety of conditions, ages, orientations, and needs.
