*PLEASE REQUEST SESSION TIMES in the form; this will give more options for session times* ALL SESSIONS ARE ONLINE ONLY - in-person is only by invitation. I am an integrative trauma therapist. My modalities include Ego State/IFS-informed EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic work, all applied as part of an integrative trauma-focused approach. I work with people on a wide range of issues that life may present. My work challenges your thoughts while teaching you skills. Talking about your trauma stories is optional, and you can choose what you wish to share. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the client's needs and responses, focusing on achieving the outcomes you desire. All my work respects you as a person and your needs, even though it can be challenging at times. Success is the work you take away and use to help yourself live a healthy life. I work with families, couples, and individuals. I address issues such as adverse childhood experiences, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, and racial-based trauma. I relate well to people of all ages, cultures, and religions. For those of retirement age, we explore life stages, changes, and life after retirement. I provide psychoeducational tools and therapy to support you. I also supervise therapists and supervisors who require external workplace supervision, including those in supervisory roles. I have been told that although the work I do challenges your thoughts, it also helps you find a way through. I respect all ethnicities, religions, sexualities, and genders, and I do not judge what you bring to me. I also work with race-based traumatic stressors.
