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.
