I take a trauma informed approach to my work, working to identify the way past traumas affect our day to day life. I first work with clients to help identify current life stressors, and then implementing ways to problem solve these issues in real time. Once we're ready, we can return to previous traumas to reprocess and relearn from these experiences, allowing for long lasting healing.

Suicidal thoughts are a sign that life isn't progressing the way we want it to, and can be very scary to share with others. I have extensive experience working with people who feel suicidal, and I know these thoughts are coming up for a reason. My job is to help identify why you're having these thoughts, and to provide real time solutions to make life one that is worth living.

Obsessional thoughts and uncontrollable compulsions can be incredibly stressful, unsettling, and make a person feel like they have little say over their life. I have been trained in the gold standard treatment for OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention (Ex/RP for short), which helps people to overcome their fears without relying on compulsions to get through the day.

DBT is a therapy specially designed to help us deal with our emotions in an effective way, learn how to accept what we cannot control, and focus on achieving our goals. In primarily being a DBT therapist, I help clients learn new skills to help manage relationships, situations and distress as they occur, and to identify how to best live our life the way we want to.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been scientifically proven to help resolve trauma and past difficulties, as we are able to revisit frightening and upsetting moments from our lives in a safe, productive way. Through EMDR, you can relearn from the past, helping you to move forward in your life without the past controlling you.

In facing our fears, we can learn to actually tolerate once frightening things that governed our lives. Exposure therapy can help you to systematically and hierarchically face what causes you worry, seeing through the process your distress will not only decrease in time without needing to escape or avoid the situation, yet the more you do it the less frightening your fears prove to be.
