My Approach
How we'll address the problems in your life.
I focus on the needs of my clients ensuring that their preferences and values guide our work together. My goal as a clinician is to help my clients improve their quality of life through the use of evidence based interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing mindfulness and traumatic incident reduction. I take a holistic approach to treatment and empower my clients to become their own agents of change.
I have been trained and certified as a Traumatic Incident Reduction Facilitator, an intervention used to effectively lower traumatic stress caused by emotionally and physically painful events. In my sessions, clients have the opportunity to examine their experiences and perspectives by going on an internal journey allowing them to heal and move forward. We work on releasing emotions and behaviors that no longer serve them paving the way for a brighter and more hopeful future.
Areas of Specialities & Interest:
Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Grief & Loss, Life Transitions, Low Self-Esteem/Self-Criticism and Depression

Be the best version of yourself
I specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder and emotional healing. One powerful approach I integrate when addressing trauma, involves the use of Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) for trauma resolution. This treatment modality requires extended therapy sessions to offer clients enough time to process traumatic experiences. We work on exploring past traumas, discharging the anxiety and stress attached to the experiences and building new hope.
By dedicating more time, we can gently peel away the layers of pain that often accompany trauma. This therapeutic model is seen as educational as it centers around teaching the client new information, and insights about the traumatic event.
