With a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy, I have had the privilege of working with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, including grief, bereavement, and trauma. My experience in hospice settings has deepened my understanding of the profound impact of loss, allowing me to provide empathetic support to those experiencing profound grief and helping them find meaning and healing during difficult times. In my practice, I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist individuals in developing effective coping strategies and emotional regulation skills, fostering resilience and balance in their daily lives. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to encourage present-moment awareness and self-compassion, promoting a sense of inner peace and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plays a central role in addressing and reframing negative thought patterns, empowering clients to challenge and overcome obstacles that may be hindering their progress. My work with trauma is approached with sensitivity and care, creating a safe space where clients can process their experiences and work towards healing and recovery. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to meeting clients where they are, offering support that is both validating and transformative. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and move towards a place of strength and growth.
