About My Clients
Some of my clinical experience entails working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced or are living life with Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Neurodivergency, Mood disturbances, and/or Grief. For me, therapy is not only about gaining insight, but also about making real changes in your life. Together, not only will we work towards developing more compassion and awareness, but also to bring practical solutions and coping skills into life.
My Background and Approach
I offer therapy that is largely rooted in a trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based approach. I specialize in eye movement and desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy which is a somatic based therapeutic approach. EMDR is an evidence-based approach scientifically proven to be effective in treating issues such as: anger, emotional eating, loss/grief, and procrastination/avoidance behaviors/indecision to name a few. I also incorporate therapeutic modalities such as dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and somatic therapy to assist my clients in improving their relationships with their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Together, we can explore and discuss how past experiences, identity, and internalized systems may get in the way of your ability to live a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling, and mentally balanced.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I don't discriminate against anyone and think everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. I believe a supportive environment and curiosity towards self-awareness are essentials towards a journey of healing and growth. Trauma is often only viewed as this huge life altering experience that can only happen through violence or natural disaster; however, the truth is trauma can be anything that causes the mind, body, or spirit to become overwhelmed and shut down. When we aren’t provided the support and resources necessary to be able to cope or adjust within these systemic and intrinsic struggles, our body has no choice but to find a way to cope with what we know or sometimes even block it out. We often judge ourselves for how we survived and the way we cope with life, especially when those coping skills are no longer functional. I am here to assist you in reclaiming and reinforcing your power, strength, and hope. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me an email.
