About My Clients

Given my experience, I believe I would be a good fit for those who are looking to resolve issues related to trauma, managing their anxiety, address interpersonal or family conflicts, or just looking to explore what is getting in the way of living the life they hope to live. I have experience working with depression, anger, and other mood-related concerns, so I can support in these areas as well.

My Background and Approach

My main expertise in therapy is working through trauma and supporting folks who are hesitant about the therapy process. The concept of "showing up" in this work is so different for every person, and I understand this and know how important it is to work with each individual where they are at. Not everyone has it figured out, or knows what needs to change. I have extensive experience working in this gray area, and have had success getting folks to the other side. Change is scary, and showing up to do this work takes so much courage and bravery, and I take this all into account in the therapeutic process. In my practice, I utilize CBT, Narrative approaches, Solution-Focused, EMDR, and various other modalities.
