What should a new client know about working with you?

My primary focus in the first sessions is to help both your body and brain feel safe and stable. Utilizing Somatic, CBT, IFS, and DBT approaches, I help you review for instance the impact of anxiety or trauma on body and brain, assist you with identifying sensations and feelings without shaming them and respond to their intentions with effective resources.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When I work with clients with out-of-control anxiety, self-harm, and substance use, I help them deeply understand the intent of these feelings and behaviors. Through a collaborative treatment plan, clients develop goal-related steps focusing on what they can control that can improve their safety and functioning. Once clients have identified where to focus their energy they start feeling better.
