I am also specially trained in EMDR, DBT, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), all of which are effective in trauma treatment.
Certified trauma-informed therapist with training in EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CPT. I specialize in work with adult/adolescent clients with a history of trauma, whether single incident or complex and/or autism. These clients may present with PTSD, cPTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and more. My goal is to assist my clients with not only recovering after trauma, but enabling growth toward the person they want to be. I see survival as a strength, and the adaptations that allowed for that survival should be recognized as such to increase self-compassion and facilitate the next step.

Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.

Individuals with diverse identity backgrounds work with me to process guilt related to caretaking; explore the reasons for certain behavior patterns; enhance communication; increase mood regulation; navigate career or relationship changes; explore identity; navigate marital challenges; and gain skills for anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, addiction. We'll process and address cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns that affect functioning and relationships. I work from a culturally competent stance, acknowledge the whole person and create a space that honors identity and intersectionality.

Do you find it challenging to maintain a sense of connection with both yourself and those around you? Are your personal needs frequently pushed to the bottom of your priority list? Do feelings of guilt frequently arise, making it difficult to assertively decline requests from others? It's possible that you can't even recall a time when life felt differently. But one thing is clear: you're ready for relief. You're prepared to prioritize your well-being, express your honest thoughts without overthinking, and, above all, unshackle yourself from the unhealthy chains of obligation and guilt that have bound you for so long.

Do you find yourself overthinking? Are you a people pleaser who feels their needs are unimportant? Maybe you are having a hard time processing a traumatic event. This can be exhausting and may be impacting your current relationships, job functioning, or daily mood. I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to trust and be vulnerable with others. My goal in our work together is that you can be yourself, while feeling supported and cared for.

I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gantt, Co-founders of the Instinctual Trauma Response Method, "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adults, couples, and first responders who are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.) Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed and effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.
