Wouldn’t it be awesome to be free of the fears that keep you from living your best life? You want to feel lighter & less stuck by the things that make you sad or scared. Afraid if you talk about them, you’ll open that door & you'd be overwhelmed. You’re unsure how to handle small day to day problems much less releasing the floodgates of your past. My goal is to teach you the skills to empower you to fight whatever your boogeyman is yourself. I want you to have skills to rely on when other stuff comes up, because you know it will. I want you to leave my office feeling confident that you can overcome hard things.
I believe in empowering you to handle the waves of emotions that come from healing from trauma & grief. I utilize DBT, CBT & ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) to help you build skills & overcome your fears, manage day to day stress, depression, anxiety, and panic. ART is an eye movement-based therapy similar to EMDR that takes advantage of imagery.
ART reduces strong emotions tied to traumatic or stressful events from your past & supports emotional relief quickly. I believe that being comfortable in session is important and want you to know I am an ally for the LGBTQ+ community. We will laugh, cuss, & at times get distracted, and no matter how you come through that door I’m here to help you.
