How it works
People have an innate desire to be the best version of themselves.
No matter what you say or do, there will be no judgement. Unconditional positive regard allows for a safe and supportive space for you to explore.
The way you experience the world is unique. I aim to understand your thoughts and feelings from your perspective to strengthen the therapeutic alliance.
Authenticity and transparency are foundational for a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am committed to building trust with you to encourage openness and honesty.
There are well researched and specialized therapeutic treatments for complex and single-incident traumatic experiences. I am an EMDRIA-approved EMDR trainee, and trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to children and adults, as appropriate. These are effective and efficient solutions for children aged 3+ and adults who want to heal from negative, upsetting, and stressful experiences or events.
