SPECIALIZED In the following:
I am a skilled therapist with nearly 10 years’ experience in this field. My skillset in various theories will be key supporting you in your journey.
I treat children, adolescents and adults clinically that suffer from trauma. My approach is suitable for a person suffering from trauma, whether there is current or past trauma. I provide a safe space to relive some of those tough experiences in sessions and work with you to support you towards your healing. In addition, I am a certified evidenced based practitioner in Trauma-Focused therapy (TF-CBT) for children and adolescents which is a treatment backed by extensive evaluation. According to this model and my own experience practicing in this treatment, TF-CBT can successfully resolve complex trauma experiences as displayed emotionally and behaviorally. The impact that trauma can have on an individual can be scarring but I want to inform you that we can work together and make a difference, let’s begin the healing process.
Many people learn to live with anxiety and may feel stuck in this mode. I also specialize in anxiety disorders. The work I do supports my clients to help find the onset of the problem and tackle those symptoms through a cognitive approach. My style is eclectic, I am able to adapt my approach with working with clients according to my client’s needs. I also incorporate psychoeducation of anxiety as a way to help my client understand what they may be living through in support to their treatment. I also support my clients to not only work through their anxieties and stress emotionally but also behaviorally. I will help you to challenge unhealthy thoughts and feelings in treatment.
Working with client’s experiencing depression is a specialty of mine. I utilize tools from psychodynamic/humanistic approach. I seek to find the deeper meaning of the problems with you, empower you to speak up for yourself and support you to continue to work through the depression process. I also embed a cognitive behavioral approach by introducing to you tools that may support your process as you work through the depression. In addition, I am a certified children’s evidence based Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) practitioner in which the treatment provided is matched scientifically to the client’s characteristics.
