As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I integrate the principles of Somatic Experiencing® into my therapeutic work to help clients resolve trauma and restore balance to their nervous systems. Somatic Experiencing (SE®) is a body-centered approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine, designed to gently guide individuals through the process of renegotiating traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, SE emphasizes the role of the body in healing, recognizing that trauma is stored not just in the mind but also within the body’s nervous system
As a EMDRIA Certified & Consultant In Training therapist I specialize in helping trauma survivors by the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
I’m dedicated to helping individuals access profound levels of healing and personal growth. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused therapeutic approach designed to unlock and resolve deeply held traumas and emotional blockages. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy by using eye positions to target areas of the brain where negative experiences are stored, allowing for natural and effective release.
I am a Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC) which means I have completed a minimum of 50 hours of education to further develop the tools needed to effectively reach and support first responders with cultural competence, expertise, confidence, and empathy.
I am a Certified Grief Educator (CGE), trained by renowned Grief Expert David Kessler, helping clients in grief find peace after even the most devastating losses.
I am a Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) and Level 3 Practicum Trained therapist in the Gottman Method. I support couples who are struggling with communication difficulties, infidelities and/or are at odds with one another because of differing life goals, interests, or opposing values. I provide Discernment Counseling for those couples who are on the fence about ending the relationship / marriage.
I am a LGBTQ+, sex positive, kink and poly / ethical non monogamy affirming clinician.
Additionally, I enjoy working and supporting other mental health therapists. I strongly believe and support the idea that every therapist also needs a therapist. The work we do on a daily basis can be emotionally exhausting and / or challenging. Coupled with our own private life challenges that we actively keep out of our sessions. I will help you navigate the challenges that arise both personally and professionally, help you avoid burnout, support you through compassion fatigue and secondary trauma. I look forward to working with you and being a part of your supportive team.
Whatever your need for support may be, I will teach you specific tools to support you during those most difficult times and to help you move towards a calmer and peaceful existence.
