About

I’m a trauma informed therapist. I provide a safe place to talk about difficult things and I genuinely care about helping others. I believe everyone’s path to healing should be designed differently. Human beings are unique and complicated. One size fits all just doesn’t work when it comes to healing. I use a customized and collaborative treatment style. My approach I use scientific and evidence based therapeutic techniques such as CBT, EMDR, IFS and Solution Focused in a patient non-judgmental way. I help individuals figure out how their past could be affecting the present and even holding them back. Sometimes I give fun projects or worksheets that help rewire the brain into adaptive thought patterns. I teach tools that can be life changing and help you to better cope with the challenges that life throws your way. My focus I've have experience working with adults who struggle with past Traumas, Anxiety, Work/School Stress, Relationships, Chronic Illness, Cult Victims, Highly sensitive individuals and many other issues. I'm very open minded and non judgmental. My goal is simply to help you heal and become more peaceful. My communication style My approach is warm, empathetic, sprinkled with a little bit of humor and focused on how to get you to where you want to be. My journey to mental healthcare I genuinely enjoy helping others find solutions to overcoming their emotional pain and the impact of past traumas. My goals for you I listen to what you say you want to achieve with therapy. My first session with you During our first session I will ask you some questions about your current struggles and what has been especially difficult for you lately. I often gather a lot of information about who you are as a person and try to understand what's most important to you and your life
