Collaborative. Compassionate. Experienced.
If you are struggling to cope with traumatic experiences and their aftermath, I would love to talk with you. I am a trauma therapist committed to helping adolescents and adults break free from the effects of painful events and find a path forward. My work focuses on reducing problematic behaviors & “symptoms” that are rooted in traumatic experiences; and, finding healthier more effective ways to live.
You have survived, now you deserve to thrive!
I have over 20 years of experience working with issues of trauma (neglect/abuse, grief/loss, medical diagnosis, a crime) and their effects such as anxiety, depression, health issues, eating disorders, and relationship issues, I also provide a specialty practice for women and couples regarding infertility, pregnancy/birth trauma, postpartum mood/anxiety concerns.
My work experiences include: community mental health centers, inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential and intensive treatment for eating disorders and traumas, and pediatric medical psychology program at a children's hospital.
While grounded in cognitive behavioral therapies, I often use an integrative approach, using the most appropriate. evidenced-based intervention tailored for you. I have advanced training and experience in the expressive arts and group therapies, trauma and eating disorders; I am an EMDR trained (completed BASIC I and II) for trauma, complex PTSD, and anxiety concerns. Additionally, I have completed training in an advanced EMDR protocol, Sandtray EMDR Intensive Protocol (by Ana Gomez) which is a wonderful, non-threatening intervention for healing for children, adolescents, and adults.
Many people can be hesitant to begin the therapy process, or “try again.” With me, rest assured you will have a competent, ethical, safe, collaborative, compassionate and caring therapist. If you would like to schedule an appointment with me, or even a free consultation call, please reach out.
