When we are on our way towards healing, we may face many roadblocks: past trauma, invalidating environments, our views of ourselves, among many others. While we are hard-wired to heal, it can be hard to do so when there are many factors getting in the way of our journey towards peace. Maybe standard talk therapy or CBT has not been helpful for you in the past, and you feel stuck. My passion is working with survivors of trauma or chronically invalidating environments who hope to build a life worth living.
I have been professionally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and I am working towards full certification for both of these evidence-based interventions. I take a trauma-informed and client-forward approach to meet you where you are at and set goals for treatment.
I also offer extended processing sessions for EMDR that goes beyond the standard 60 or 90 minutes. If you are a qualified candidate, we can achieve what months of therapy provides in just a day or half a day. Please email me for more information. Regardless of what we work on together, I look forward to assisting you in your healing journey!
