About My Clients
My specialty is working with folks that have experienced chronic stress, survivors of abuse and trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and difficulties with self-worth and self-acceptance. I have experience working with first responders, veterans, and am an LGBTIA+ affirming therapist!
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and received my masters from the University of San Diego's Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. A modality I often utilize in sessions is a narrative approach, which focuses on helping us get unstuck from the stories we tell ourselves. These stories are often reflections of how we think/view ourselves, others and the world. We work to create new narrative that align with your value and authentic self. I strongly believe that healing happens when all parts of the person are integrated in an empowering and compassionate space. Additionally, I value integrating the mind and body in my therapeutic work with clients. Specifically, I am trained in Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a brain and body therapy that allows reprocessing of painful experiences, increases nervous system regulation, and can rapidly address issues that traditional talk therapy takes longer to resolve.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we all deserve to feel peace and ease. It's part of the human experience to move through discomfort and many of us find ways to cope that end up getting in the way of us fully enjoying life. As adults, we get to care for the younger parts of ourselves in ways that we weren't able to as children. We are learning so much about the connection between our brains + our bodies. The role our nervous system plays in our health and the process of healing is significant. Our human experiences impact our brain + body and our healing should too. Modalities like Brainspotting help to address the mind-body connection, regulate our nervous system, and address deeper issues that we can have a difficult time reaching otherwise. I'm passionate about healing and have personally seen the benefits of holistic care. I'd love to answer any questions you may have and learn more about you!
