My Approach to Helping
My goal is to work collaboratively with you to reach your dreams and goals of a more fulfilling life. My passion in practice is to provide an integrative and multi-disciplinary approach so we can work together and side by side toward your leading a life that is worth celebrating. I emphasize strengths as we work together to find ways of better understanding past experiences and resolving challenges raised by them that are in your life now. Using both evidence based and complementary therapy approaches, we can uncover whatever may be holding you back from living a more fulfilling life.
Whether you're looking for support and guidance through a difficult situation or are just ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you toward your dreams. My hope is to help you get back to feeling energized and hopeful in your life.
More Info About My Practice
I specialize in working through traumatic situations, whether they occurred in the past or more recently. In the context of individual, group, couples', or family therapy, disruptions and life cycle transitions can be tough -- even when they are positive changes. Uncovering whatever may be holding you back from living the life worth celebrating that you want through a strengths-based and collaborative partnership, we can help figure out how to better empower you to set your life ablaze in the ways that you want it to be.
While calling a therapist can be intimidating, I hope you take a moment and see how I can help you set out on your goals for a more enriched life. I don't believe therapy has to be a painful thing -- it can be a freeing and powerful step in one's journey toward the life of fulfillment and joy. My hope is for you to be free of emotional pain and find fulfillment in all areas of your life and I look forward to working with you to achieve that.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I offer several approaches including specialized an evidence based approaches such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and a more integrative, holistic curriculum for female survivors of recurrent trauma.
In addition, I have worked with a number of veterans in and out of veteran specific settings. I am well-versed in the unique struggles that our service men and women faced during their training and service as well as in returning to their civilian lives. I offer very informed services for veterans.
Another area of specialty includes navigating the challenges of sleeping disturbances. I offer individual and group therapy in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). This is a time-limited and evidence-based approach for treating insomnia that has been dubbed as the gold standard approach.
