As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified DBT specialist, and Anger Management Counselor, I can help you move beyond your trauma using all my skills into a life that feels more balanced and increases your capacity for experiences of joy and aliveness. I specialize in helping all individuals navigate through these challenges of finding direction in life through TF-CBT, DBT, and psychotherapy.
My approach
My therapeutic approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic principles, anger management, and trauma-focused CBT. I tailor my methods to each individual's unique needs, aiming to foster positive change and growth.
My focus
I work with diverse patients, including adults, young adults, adolescents, children, and families. I also specialize in treating adult survivors of childhood trauma, helping them process their experiences in a safe place while building resilience to tackle trauma triggers.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard and validated. Through open, honest dialogue, we collaborate to identify challenges, set goals, and work toward lasting transformation.
My journey to mental healthcare
As a child survivor of trauma myself, I was drawn to the field of mental healthcare by a deep desire to support others in their healing journeys. My own experiences have instilled in me a keen sensitivity to cases involving sexual, physical, and mental health abuse. They\'ve also shown me the incredible capacity for courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and support needed to overcome obstacles, change unhelpful attitudes and perceptions, and lead a more fulfilling life. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, anger management, or life transitions, I am dedicated to helping you tap into your innate potential for positive change.
My first session with you
In our first session, we'll focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance. I'll take time to listen to your story, understand your challenges, and learn about your hopes for therapy. Together, we'll start to identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and develop an individualized treatment plan to guide our work. You can expect a warm, collaborative experience focused on your unique needs and preferences.
