Approach
My therapeutic style utilizes a humanistic and person centered approach emphasizing trauma informed care. This approach centers our work on harmful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so we can work on the whole person to identify areas of need, allowing the opportunity to support those who have been feeling isolated or stuck.
An initial goal is to create a space that is comfortable, safe, and productive. I work to develop a rapport with each client through three main areas of support: listening, validating, and challenging.
I enjoy developing trust with each client as we work towards goals together.
Areas of Treatment
My treatment areas include all areas of life function, but I commonly work with client's suffering from depression and anxiety, which are two of the most common mental health concerns but also two of the hardest to cope with.
My work with couples focuses on identifying negative feedback loops within the relationship (replaying of problems and negative communication), and helping them make the needed changes to develop more satisfying relationships.
I also treat bipolar disorder, personality disorders, trauma, PTSD, difficult life transitions, and those suffering from identity and gender concerns.
