The majority of my experience has been working with adults who've suffered abuse, any kind and at anytime in their lives, whether as an adult or child. I've received ongoing training on treating trauma and have a special certification in clinical trauma treatment. You will always receive trauma-informed care from me, free of blaming, assuming and judging.

I know anxiety can be super uncomfortable and inconvenient, and I know this from personal experience. But the great thing is, there are SO MANY tools and strategies that can make your anxiety symptoms more manageable. You'll feel more in control, rather than your anxiety having control over you. We will work to build trust in yourself that you can manage your symptoms in healthy ways.

If you're experiencing any degree of depression, please know that I am so sorry you're going through this. It's not your fault. There's nothing wrong with you. You're not weak. You're not alone. We can work together to make your depressive symptoms more tolerable... or we can simply sit in the same space at the same time and exist together - whatever you have the energy for.

I view CBT as a foundation for growing more self-awareness. We can't make changes if we aren't aware of all the pieces that contribute to our struggles. CBT involves our thoughts, emotions and behaviors and how all those affect and influence each other. We are able to learn that thoughts themselves aren't the problem, but rather how we respond to our thoughts. Simple tweaks can make a world of difference in how we think, feel and act.

DBT is a skills-based modality, which I find to be very empowering. We can incorporate concepts of acceptance, mindfulness, etc to better tolerate and regulate whatever challenges we are facing. I like for you to have a solid 5-10 skills that you are familiar with and know work for you most of the time.

Our body is intricately involved in our mental health, so it is crucial to incorporate somatic skills and regulate techniques to calm and sooth the body to communicate safety, which can often in turn help our minds quiet.
