I have 21 years of experience working with adults. My specialization is trauma – sexual abuse, sexual assault, childhood traumas, domestic violence, grief and loss of loved ones. I have also had extensive experience with those experiencing depression and anxiety, as well as substance abuse and relapse prevention. I understand that the journey through trauma to recovery is a delicate and personal one. My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space in which to process and release the many complex and confusing emotions and behaviors that can result from a history of trauma, loss, addiction, depression and anxiety. Even if you feel that your problems are not that complex, my training and expertise can help you to identify the nature of your problem and together we can find solutions. I am skilled in the areas of assessment, diagnosis, treatment and planning, I guide you through mindfulness, coping skills development, meditation, problem solving and simple reframing of an issue at hand. I tailor the treatment to each individual – in general I use an eclectic approach. My treatment modalities include Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts assisted therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and CBT-I (CBT for insomnia) M y mission is to provide you with the highest quality service in order to help you achieve your goals in therapy and in life. I will work with you in a way that builds on your strengths and potential, and challenges you to take your life to the next level. My approach is down to earth and direct, yet compassionate and caring. Together, I am confident that you can see the changes that you are willing to make.
