My Background and Approach
I received my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2018. I have treated people of all ages and backgrounds from children, at-risk-youth, adolescents, teens, adults and elderly. I also have treated addiction and substance use recovery as well as dual diagnosis in intensive outpatient and residential treatment. I have treated borderline personality disorder, PTSD, complex ptsd,panic disorder, anxiety, major depression, sexual abuse survivors, and bipolar I & II . My approach in therapy is centered on developing mindfulness skills with compassion and kindness. I use a humanistic, client centered approach to cater to an individuals needs. We are all unique and different. Our life stories are varied and what what may work to effect change for one may not for another. Thru the use of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, art therapy, and EMDR therapy services we can create a safe space for healing and growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
A Buddhist practioner and yogi for 20+ years, I inciude mindfulness skills and meditation as part of treatment when appropriate. I have led groups in guided meditation and mindfulness based art therapy. I believe strength comes from loving kindness and compassion to the self and flowers outwardly to the world and all. Compassion + patience = healing. I am an EMDRIA trained EMDR therapist and provide EMDR therapy virtually. I offer EMDR intensives of 90 minutes and half-day sessions. In my personal life I enjoy spending time with my family, pets, hiking, gardening, being outdoors, traveling , and playing classical piano. I am also an avid reader, musician, and music producer.
