About Me:
I consider it a great honor when someone invites me to help with their struggles. My passion is to help individuals heal who have been devastated by trauma, addiction, and stressful life events. I work with all kinds of trauma such as childhood abuse/neglect, unexpected life events, a health crisis, discrimination/racism, natural disasters, and betrayal trauma caused by deception related to infidelity, porn, emotional affairs, and addiction. Everyone is welcome at my office.
I use unique blends of EMDR therapy (certified through EMDRIA), Somatic Experiencing, and the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model in healing betrayal trauma (certified CPS through APSATS). My therapeutic style utilizes a mix of attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and neurobiology with a direct but gentle demeanor in session along with feedback where needed. I don't believe in a cookie cutter approach to therapy. Everyone is different and deserves a personalized experience when seeking help. My personal philosophy to treatment is that I do not ask someone to do what I am not willing to do myself.
A bit about me personally ...I am a 2x breast cancer survivor... a multiple trauma survivor... I am active in my own recovery process. My passion for this work has grown over the years for many reasons, but especially after I lost my younger brother to the disease of addiction in 2011. I never get tired of learning. I love studying addiction, recovery, trauma resolution, parenting, and relationships. I am fascinated by how powerful the brain and nervous system are in our healing. I incorporate a lot of neuroscience, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and somatic experiencing into my therapy practices, continually seeking ways to supplement my knowledge through high quality training and literature.
