Clinically I practice from a trauma informed, whole person perspective and believe that the client is the expert of their experience. I believe that it is my role to join the client on their healing journey to provide guidance and to hold space and settled energy for big emotions that may present. In therapy I am there to support, to clarify, to encourage, to empower, and to help clients get to know and learn to LOVE themselves in a safe, compassionate, and accepting environment.
I work from a compassion focused lens using techniques from DBT, IFS and EMDR to promote healing from trauma wounds and stabilization of mental health symptoms. I focus on empowering clients to step into their strength and take the power back in their lives from things that they have experienced in the past and the things that they may be experiencing in the present.
