What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

When working with me, you'll find a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I take a personalized approach to therapy, using methods like EMDR and trauma-focused techniques to help you heal. My goal is to empower you, so you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Healing isn’t linear, but with the right guidance, it’s always possible.

How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?

Determining therapy goals is a collaborative process that starts with understanding what’s most important to you. In our first few sessions, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and any challenges or patterns you’re facing. From there, we’ll identify what you hope to achieve—whether it’s healing from past trauma, improving emotional well-being, or gaining better coping skills. I always work with clients to set realistic and meaningful goals that align with their values and priorities. These goals evolve as we move through the process, and I encourage clients to check in on them regularly to ensure they feel connected to their growth. My role is to support you in reaching those goals, using the techniques and tools that feel most effective for you, while staying flexible to any changes that come up along the way.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I use a variety of treatment methods tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a focus on trauma-informed care to create a safe and supportive space for healing. Some of the key tools I utilize include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This technique is effective for processing trauma by helping clients reframe distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Somatic Therapy: This method connects the mind and body, using techniques to release physical tension tied to trauma and promote emotional healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering healthier ways of thinking and coping. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Especially helpful for trauma survivors, CPT helps reframe harmful thoughts related to trauma and aids in emotional healing. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): EFT combines tapping on specific acupuncture points while focusing on emotional distress, helping to release blockages and reduce the intensity of negative emotions related to trauma. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques: These tools help manage anxiety and bring clients into the present moment, especially when trauma-related thoughts or emotions arise. Each of these methods is tailored to fit your specific needs, with the goal of helping you heal, grow, and feel empowered in your journey.

Education

Walden University, Master of Professional Counseling, Specialized in Trauma, 2014

I hold a Master's in Counseling with a specialization in trauma, allowing me to offer tailored support to clients who are navigating difficult experiences. This approach helps clients heal in a safe, non-judgmental space, with strategies that empower them to manage and overcome trauma in a way that fits their unique needs.

Work History

Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, and trauma. In community mental health, I learned how essential it is for people to have a safe space to explore their struggles, especially when it comes to trauma and its long-term effects. As I specialized in trauma therapy, I trained in methods like EMDR and somatic techniques, which help clients process their experiences both emotionally and physically. I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life, from those healing from childhood abuse to individuals recovering from more recent traumatic events. What drives me is the belief that healing is possible for everyone. My approach is deeply personal and empowering, meeting each client where they are and helping them rebuild strength and resilience in their own time and way.
