Experience and Expertise in Trauma and Related Issues

 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a EMDR Therapist, I have extensive experience in treating trauma caused by all kinds of stressful and/or traumatic events, including grief and loss. I am also well-equipped to address related issues such as anxiety, depression, and substance use that can develop as a result. My passion lies in creating a safe space and a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship with my clients as I guide them, utilizing their strengths, to accomplish post-traumatic growth and healing. Additionally, I believe in the importance of including family members and significant others, when available, as part of the treatment.

Holistic Approach to Healing and Growth

Your journey to healing and growth is deeply personal, and I consider it an honor to be a part of it. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey that will help you embrace change, tap into your inner strength, and create a fulfilling life. My approach is holistic, combining evidence-based modalities tailored to your specific needs.

​

Unlocking Healing from Within with EMDR

One powerful technique I utilize is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through EMDR, we can unlock healing from within, processing and resolving past traumas or difficult experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tactile sensations, EMDR helps reprocess memories and emotions, leading to lasting healing and transformation.

Cultivating Self-Compassion with Mindful Self-Compassion Techniques

Additionally, I incorporate Mindful Self-Compassion techniques into our therapy sessions. Together, we will cultivate a kind and supportive relationship with yourself, allowing you to navigate challenges with greater self-acceptance, resilience, and inner strength. Mindful Self-Compassion will empower you to care for yourself during times of transition and create a solid foundation for your personal growth.

​

Your journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring our therapy sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck, I will provide you with the tools and support you need to move forward confidently. Through individual therapy sessions, we will dive deep into your personal experiences, emotions, and goals. In a safe and non-judgmental space, we will work together to explore your inner world and uncover the strengths and resources within you.
