About My Clients
I work with adults and adolescents in individual, family or couples sessions in order to address presenting symptoms through processing and understanding trauma, neurodiversity, and the relationships around us. My clients are motivated for treatment, but may not have had luck with therapy in the past.
My Background and Approach
Certified trauma-informed therapist with training in EMDR, IFS, DBT, CPT and more. I specialize in work with adult/adolescent clients with a history of trauma, whether single incident or complex. These clients may present with PTSD, cPTSD, depression, anxiety, a substance use disorder, a personality disorder, or a variety of other presentations. My goal is to assist my clients with not only recovering after trauma, but enabling growth toward the person they want to be. I see survival as a strength, and the adaptations that allowed for that survival should be recognized as such to increase self-compassion and facilitate the next step I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level Two (CCTP-II) and a Certified Autism Informed Professional (ASDI). I am also specially trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), all of which are effective in trauma treatment. As a neurodivergent therapist, I also bring some of my own experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have been advocating in the mental health field since surviving suicide and addiction in 2015. I believe that everyone wants to get better and I have made it my mission to give people the tools needed to do so. I have done this on my TikTok, where I talk a great deal about trauma, autism, personality disorders and everything in between. I have worked with the Montgomery County, MD government to advance social justice through policy and improve citizen's access to mental health care. I have kept myself up to date with the research and have learned a wide array of therapies because I want to provide specialized, individualized, and strength-based care to every person that engages with me in therapy.
