My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health. I believe that therapy is a partnership, where we work together to uncover the underlying causes of your struggles and create a plan for healing. My focus is always on meeting you where you are in your journey, respecting your unique experiences, and empowering you to take charge of your own recovery.
I specialize in trauma, eating disorders, and substance abuse recovery, and my approach is trauma-informed, meaning I recognize and address the impact of past experiences on your current behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which helps individuals process and heal from trauma. This evidence-based technique is especially effective in helping clients reframe their responses to past experiences and move forward in a healthier, more balanced way.
I also emphasize emotional regulation and coping skills. Life can be overwhelming, and learning to manage emotions is key to overcoming difficulties. Together, we’ll explore strategies that work for you, whether that’s through mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, or learning how to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. Throughout the process, I’ll provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be vulnerable and explore the tough topics that may have been difficult to address in the past.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, to heal from your past, and to build the resilience you need to move forward with confidence and strength.
