One of the most crucial parts of the therapeutic process is connection. Having a space where you feel understood and not judged is foundational, especially in these times. We all have a unique history and journey- no two experiences are alike. I incorporate both an INDIVIDUALIZED and WHOLISTIC approach to therapy, geared towards considering the whole person, identifying how each part affects and influences the other. We will work on clearly identifing goals and measuring your progress. Together we can do this by practicing the principle of HOPE, as I believe almost everything in life is "figure-out-able." I specialize in clients who have experienced trauma. We work on balancing the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous systems and regulating environments. Panic attacks, PTSD, anxiety & depression are common after a traumatic experience. Assessing, diagnosing and treating through the use of psychotherapy can be invaluable in gaining a greater quality of life. Taking the next step can be intimidating, difficult and even humbling. A different perspective may help you create balance and a renewed sense of stability. It is my intention to help you scale life beyond the "couch." I have seen the smallest of adjustments make a big impact. You are not alone and I am looking forward to working together soon. . .
