Just another PT profile, right? Let's look closer. I see you've been trying to find a therapist and someone you can connect with. You may have experience in therapy and are looking to get back at it, or maybe this whole thing is confusing, and you don't know where to start. I am a licensed therapist that happens to be a flawed human. While there are a wide array of issues that I treat, I am most interested in helping other humans address issues with addiction, complex trauma, dissociation, chronic pain and illness.
Over the last decade, I have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and community case management roles. My approach pulls from multiple modalities. I aim to understand you as a whole experience, not just your symptoms. I primarily utilize EMDR, DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Harm Reduction.
I would love to connect with you. I offer in-person and virtual sessions. Let's start this journey, shall we?
