Thoreau said "There are a thousand hacking at the branches to every one striking at the root." In therapy, I believe our most valuable work is striking at the root of issues rather than hacking merely at the many branches/symptoms of the root. This latter approach often leads to resolving one manifestation of a problem only to experience new manifestations down the road. Whether the symptoms are anxiety, depression, addictions, or maladaptive relationships, it is worthwhile to examine the deeper sources of our pain. One of my primary roles will be to provide a steadfast ground of compassion, patience, and truth for your work.
Much of my training and experience is in trauma-informed models, attachment, anxiety disorders, as well as level 2 certification in EMDR. I believe it is empowering to learn about the brain's influence over our thoughts, feelings, and choices. My experience has also taught me the irreplaceable value of a strong therapeutic relationship.
Many people struggle with conveying compassion toward themselves and their own pain. It is my hope that by extending a client-centered and compassionate approach, clients will learn to practice the same within themselves. Reach out via email or phone and we'll schedule a time to develop a plan specifically for you.

Our most common work may be CBT (restructuring our thinking), learning emotional regulation and tolerance, relaxation/meditation, relationship and conflict resolution skills, or more focused trauma resolution (EMDR, inner child work, somatics). All tools are grounded in self-compassion, to avoid any further re-traumatization or self-aggression disguised as "growth"!
