I specialize in Trauma treatment for adults, children, adolescents, couples and families. Trauma affects all areas of one's life in pervasive and sometimes unexpected ways. I enjoy helping people identify how past events continue to play a part in current patterns, and to work on new and healthy ways of responding to stressors. Other specializations include treating victims of childhood sexual abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, children, adolescents, and couples, and working with families to better understand and support their LGBTQIA+ loved ones.
I take a warm, client-centered, approach and use a combination of Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy techniques, imaginal exposure, Cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and Embodied Drama Therapy techniques to facilitate healing and growth in my clients. I tailor my approach to each individual client, family, or couple’s needs and goals.
I am trained and experienced in the use of Drama Therapy to help my clients reach their therapeutic goals more quickly than they would through traditional talk therapy alone. In addition to this, I also use other Creative Arts techniques in both group and individual sessions. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey!
