Everyone deserves a life worth living. In today’s world, the life worth living can feel hard to achieve. We are living in unprecedented times and trauma is a big part of that landscape. People who suffer from trauma often find it difficult to get through daily tasks. Life can begin to feel unbearable. I have dedicated my life and career helping people to recover from trauma and mental illness and thrive. When people have difficult experiences in their lives, they can often feel “stuck” in their experience and find it difficult to move forward. Others may find that they block out the experience but struggle with daily tasks, relationships, or even work. When we allow ourselves the space to address our experiences and emotions related to those experiences, our brains and bodies create the conditions for healing. I use a variety of different therapeutic approaches to meet the needs of my clients. My specialties include treating trauma disorders and borderline personality disorder.
My key approaches to therapy include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am trained in several other models of therapy to include Dissociation Treatment, Safe and Sound Protocol, Theraplay, Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy, Radically Open DBT, Ego State Interventions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am able to pull from a variety of different approaches to meet the needs of my client. I am also a Certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, using equine-assisted services in conjunction with my therapeutic approaches when deemed appropriate. I have experience working with substance use and addiction issues. Whatever your need, I will meet you where you are and determine the best treatment approaches for you or your family.
