Therapy style

I have been working as a therapist since 2011, and have extensive experience working with PTSD, CPTSD, depression, panic disorders, burnout, stress, and loss. I approach therapy from an attachment-based perspective and a client-centered perspective. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and also have a lot of experience working with communication in dating and relational issues, boundaries in family dynamics, and people with high-pressure jobs. I thoroughly enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and helping them to create change in their everyday lives. I offer a safe space to facilitate insight, growth, and healing.

Approaches

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Education

Interests

I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, and going hiking. I enjoy reading, going to sound baths, and learning how to make my own beauty products.
