All About Therapy

Perhaps you're getting easily irritated and having flashbacks around recent or childhood trauma. Maybe you are feeling isolated, unmotivated, and having difficulty completing daily tasks. If you are a parent who has become concerned with their child or adolescent's mood and behavior, you are arrived at a safe place for learning and addressing these issues. Whatever your concerns may be, I am here to offer an empathic and understanding listening ear. I have the education, training, and professional experience to assist you in improving your overall quality of life and mental health.

I use a supportive, strengths based, client centered approach in my practice. Techniques I implement include narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive parenting techniques, applied behavioral analysis, psychoeducation, harm reduction, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, play therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, ego states/inner child work, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy). I am trained in providing EMDR for both children and adults, as a means to reprocess and resolve trauma, enhance self-esteem, improve addiction triggers cravings, decrease procrastination and inattention, improve interpersonal relationships, stabilize mood, process grief, and eliminate phobias.
