Your brain is a super-computer and it works hard to serve you well. In therapy, I focus on rewiring the neural networks within your brain that are distressing, unhelpful, or causing you pain. By rewiring these neural networks, you can discover peace and improve your quality of life.
I have specific training in working with relationship dynamics, abuse, parenting struggles, addiction treatment, grief and loss, life transitions, depression and anxiety, trauma healing, shame, and guilt.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is an extensively researched and proven treatment for varying levels of trauma and distressing events.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families of all ages and stages.
In an age when we are more informed and connected than ever before, fear and our desire for perfection are at an all time high. I work specifically with children, teens, and young adults to unlock the power and meaning of their story through brain-based therapy.
For children, I focus on helping them process, understand, and learn to regulate their emotions through play and sandtray therapy. In an environment that is specifically designed for children, we are able to work through relationship dynamics, distressing emotions, memories, and bodily sensations.
With teens, they are hyper-aware of who knows their story. In my office, I allow them to be in control of their story. I focus on safety, emotional regulation, resourcing, and skill building to address unpredictable mood changes, stages of development, parent-child/sibling conflict, self-harming behavior, school challenges, and trauma.
The young adult stage is one of the most important and exciting stages in life! Your early 20s and 30s are marked by being the first stage of adulthood and with this important and pivotal stage can come stress, fear, discouragement, dissatisfaction, and analysis paralysis. Through therapy, you can discover meaning, find clarity, gain direction, and heal from past hurt.
I am passionate about helping grow the next generation of therapists and mental health professionals through professional coaching! If you are interested in pursuing a career in therapy or counseling and have questions about what it looks like up close, please reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation today!
I also provide business consultation and coaching for therapists and counselors looking to start or build their private practice. This includes creating your business, finding a business model that fits for you, creating a business plan, billing tips & tricks, finding your therapeutic niche, insurance credentialing, and learning how to market your practice effectively!
