I enjoy working with adult clients who are interested in learning about their past and how it affects their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, these negatively impact and affect interpersonal relationships. I provide skills to my clients, which allow them to learn effective coping strategies. I assess what individuals would like to gain out of coming to therapy and customize their treatment to help them succeed in meeting their needs and goals.
I assist diverse clients within the adult population who have maladaptive behaviors that are caused by trauma. I have worked with clients to enrich their quality of life after experiencing grief, abandonment, trauma, sexual health, ADHD inattention and/or hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, and behavioral addictions that are not substance use related.
Each person has a unique journey when s/he is born that is unpredictable. From a young age, most people are not taught how to manage and/or express emotions effectively and turn to maladaptive behaviors to cope with traumatic encounters and stress. Without processing trauma, I believe it will continue to negatively impact an individual's journey.
