Compassionate and experienced trauma focused treatment online
About
I have a lot of experience working with people across the lifespan-with children and teens, with parents and families and with individual adults. This developmental perspective has informed my understanding and my work with trauma-how the when of experiences can help us understand the why and how of present symptoms and issues. I am seasoned and real with folks and want clients to come to therapy with their sleeves rolled up and ready to meet me with engagement and a motivation to change the things that aren't working for them.
Areas I work with
- Stress
- Trauma
- PTSD
- Burnout
- Postpartum anxiety
Approach
I like to describe my work with clients as focusing on three areas-present, past and process. Present refers to how things are going and what new areas might need skill building and support to help stabilize and shore up coping and navigating. Past refers to how early experiences-like in attachment relationships and our families of origin-inform everything we know to do in relationships in the present day. Process refers to using processing therapies like EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting, trauma focused therapies, to help to get stuck things digested and metabolized. Therapy with me pays attention to all three domains to help folks heal, thrive and prosper.
