About My Clients
Are you wondering if your relationship is healthy? Are you concerned that past experiences are getting in the way of finding peace and intimacy with others? My clients are people who want to change patterns in their relationships by exploring how past trauma may be affecting their self esteem and attachment style. I have 20 years of experience helping clients improve self worth, manage relational stress, and improve Interpersonal effectiveness.
My Background and Approach
I am trained in evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies. I have a trauma informed background and use an Eclectic approach in my sessions as I believe in the importance of meeting clients where they are in their recovery process.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I personally believe that everyone is deserving of finding healthy relationships despite whatever negative, distressing, or traumatic experiences they may have had. Those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community are especially vulnerable to the lack of understanding that surrounds relationship trauma as compulsory heterosexuality can be a source of trauma and many mental health professionals are trained to address relationship issues in a heteronormative context. Recovery can take many forms and my work with animals at a no kill shelter informs my approach to understanding attachment.
