Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is from a trauma-informed perspective. I am trained in EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, CBT, and DBT. However, I have learned that the most successful approach is one of partnering with my clients and creating a relaxing, trusting, and empathic environment so that my clients can begin to explore and get curious about their story, their past, and their narrative around the events that have brought them into therapy.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 18 years. I have worked in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, helping children, adolescents, and adults of all ages improve their mental health. I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive training in various forms of therapy including CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy. I am certified in EMDR therapy, which can help heal traumatic wounds safely and effectively. We now know that trauma is "stored in the body" and therefore we need to bring the body along for the therapeutic journey. I am acutely aware of this and help clients reconnect to their bodies in powerful ways, facilitating change and healing more effectively than traditional talk therapy.
