My Approach
&
Specializations
My goal is to help you feel better as soon as possible! I believe in your body and brain's natural ability to heal itself with the support, guidance, and attunement of a trained, caring professional. I will help you gain insight and learn new skills to get you on the right path. I use an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing Somatic trauma therapies like Brainspotting and EMDR, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in the power of play, and incorporate Play Therapy with children. I believe that healing involves the mind, body, and spirit, and will include spiritual practices such as prayer, mindfulness, and meditation if requested. Together we will navigate your unique life circumstances and strive to reach your personal goals.
My Approach
Specializations
Children
Adolescents
Raising children today is tough! I specialize in treating Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Suicidal Ideation. I also have experience with adoption, highly sensitive kids, and those affected by divorce.
Trauma
Physical, emotional, academic and social stress can be overwhelming for teens! I specialize in treating adolescents with Anxiety, Depression, Learning Disorders, Social Problems, Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideation/Attempts, School Difficulties, and LGBTQ concerns.
When a person experiences trauma, their bodies and brains are changed. The world looks and feels different -- because it is. Brainspotting works with the body's limbic and central nervous system to help find , process, and release the nuerophysiological sources of pain. For more on how Brainspotting works, click here
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and Depression are the most common mental health complaints, and the most treatable! Many people experience considerable symptom relief with professional care. I use body based therapies and elements of cognitive behavioral therapy along with compassion and empathy to provide a supportive environment for growth.
Family Conflict
Christian Counseling
When our primary relationships are strained by conflict, miscommunication, or external stressors, it can take a toll on our mental health and well-being. I specialize in helping families to overcome adversity and establish strong, secure attachment.
Faith-based therapy combines spiritual wisdom with psychological theories and practices. I can include prayer, scripture reading, and other spiritual practices to encourage your emotional/spiritual health.
