Trauma can profoundly impact every aspect of an individual’s life, shaping their personal challenges and threatening to overshadow their sense of self. It can lead to a loss of perspective and motivation, overwhelming individuals with signals of danger and subconscious feelings of failure. The resulting perceptions of disappointment and pain can make it difficult for them to reconnect with their true identity. I am dedicated to assisting my clients in navigating the intricate challenges often associated with traumatic experiences, guiding them on a path toward understanding the roots of their struggles, finding stability, fostering healing, an ultimately achieving recovery. My goal is to establish a safe and supportive environment where we can delve into past experiences, process emotions, and acquire the necessary skills and strategies to progress in a positive direction. Approaching trauma work with empathy respect and a profound admiration for the resilience and strength of each individual, I strive to empower those I have the privilege of working with to overcome their trauma and re discover their inner strength.

Are you feeling unlike yourself lately? Sometimes we can experience overwhelm, negative moods, frustration, and even physical symptoms as we attempt to navigate so many aspects of life.

When you want to reflect your true capabilities, uncovering emotional and psychological barriers can not only support your identified goals but enrich your overall wellbeing, relationships, and sense of purpose.

I use a highly individualized and integrative therapy approach that identifies your strengths, offers evidence-based strategies to fill your toolbox and connects you to a greater sense of empowerment. My approach is both directive and collaborative; a partnership that feels productive and comfortable. We will explore your inner and outer world to understand what needs to shift so you can flourish in your life. I utilize psychoeducation so clients can understand both the why’s and how’s of therapy. It is important that you are well equipped to increase your coping strategies and be confident that you can respond intentionally to the things that happen in your life and feel like yourself again.

Problem: Clients are sometimes apprehensive about the type of relationship they can have with the therapist. They are uncertain if they can fully open up and express their issues and whether the therapy will help. Solution: I approach each client as an individual with the desire to provide them comfort by approaching their issues holistically. Then, in collaboration with the client, I am able to identify and agree upon the therapeutic process that is attuned to their specific issues, needs, and what they desire to achieve from therapy. Result: I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so they can move forward with ease.
