I believe that attachment theory has a strong basis for explaining significant concerns that clients can bring into therapy, and I often talk with my clients about their significant relationships throughout their life and what their attachment styles may be. Additionally, identifying attachment wounds that have occurred through life can be extremely helpful when trying to identify how we operate in relationships and try to get our needs met by loved ones.

There are several ways to treat trauma, and through my years of growth as a therapist, I have gained significant knowledge in the importance of acknowledging how our body holds on to trauma and how "the body keeps the score." Somatic based interventions are what I use primarily throughout trauma therapy treatment and I focus on helping clients develop coping skills before deep diving into processing trauma so that they have a foundation to foster feelings of safety through the therapy process.

I started using IFS techniques more during the past year in my therapeutic growth and have found significant value in helping clients identify the various parts that can come up in the psychological ecosystem and how these parts affect them throughout life. Part of the goal with using IFS techniques is to help heal wounded inner parts and helping clients in finding balance so that they can feel more in tune with their core self and not always at battle with the parts.

I have experienced anxiety throughout my life, and this is part of what led me to wanting to be a therapist. I have treated clients for a variety of different anxiety-related conditions, and focus on helping clients identify core fears that can impact the continuation of the anxiety cycle.

I treat many different trauma conditions, such as historical/intergenerational trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), PTSD from life threatening situations, and trauma from sexual, physical, psychological, and emotional trauma. I focus on helping clients build safety and coping skills first in trauma therapy before deep diving into treating the trauma through somatic based interventions.

In the past few years, I have gained significant experience in treating the LGBTQIA+ community and I have been grateful to learn more about the common struggles and concerns that affect the community. I have helped many of my clients address concerns in relationships, concerns with family conflict, and emotional concerns. I have experience in providing gender affirming care for clients transitioning and in addressing social stigmas that affect the community.
