Treatment approaches I focus on include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, Trauma Art Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy.

I help children, adults, and families focus on their strengths to be able to live their best lives. Individuals may need a variety of ways to achieve this.

It's wonderful you are taking the time to poke around and find a therapist that will be a fit for you. Honestly this may be one of the most important pieces in the whole process of therapy - that you and the therapist 'click' and are able to co-create a trusting, collaborative relationship. My hope is that our work together brings more groundedness and balance into your life. And this journey looks different for each of us. It’s an active process, discovering unhelpful patterns of physical sensation-emotion-thought reactivity and then co-creating mindful, body-based practices that draw on your inner strengths and facilitate healing
