My passion is helping clients discover skills to manage anxiety, challenge thought traps, question negative thinking patterns, explore self-identity, and reduce depressive states through processing emotions, mindfulness, understanding the nervous system, and implementing healthy coping skills. If feeling frustrated in the past/present/future worries, we can explore EMDR together to allow the brain to heal naturally. We can create goals, big or small, to uncover strengths and reduce feelings of being stuck. I also like to bring breathwork, grounding techniques, and tapping into sessions to build a sense of calm and create peace.
I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, and Trauma Informed Yoga. I use an empathetic strength based approach with foundations in CBT, EMDR, MI, and Polyvagal theory. I can assist in learning how to express emotions, communicate, practice self-regulation, and learn to make changes.
I bring a sense of connection into therapy with a kind, down-to-Earth, and empathetic approach to help you feel understood and listened to. I will also offer input or challenges to help reframe unhelpful thought patterns when needed.
