What should a new client know about working with you?

Struggling PTSD, or anxiety/depression? As a trauma therapist, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a skills-based therapy which assists clients with issues in areas of communication, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness. I also work with trauma-related issues, including recent, episodic and childhood trauma. I have dedicated my career to helping others heal inner wounds and have created a safe space for people to feel heard. I believe when we listen to others and provide the space to develop their voice, discover their strengths, they are free to be the best version of themselves.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I often use DBT and schema therapy to begin and move to Internal Family Systems in order to expand our understanding of ourselves and behaviors. I will usually move toward EMDR to assist in reducing disturbance associated with trauma. I like to get to know my client and have them work with me to find the best combination of therapies that work for them.
