What should a new client know about working with you?
The therapeutic relationship is the most important to make sure that therapy will be the most effective. While we get to know one another, I will gather relevant information to better understand your trauma history, strengths, support systems, coping skills and needs. I use humor, metaphors and education. I am also a nerd and will gladly nerd out with you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is personalized, long-term, and centered on what works best for you. Clients often share they feel safe, validated, and finally able to open up. I use a flexible blend of Trauma-Focused CBT, Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Sex Therapy, ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and the Fair Play Method to support emotional and relational healing.
