Pain from trauma does not need to rule your life, nor does trauma always come from a catastrophic event. Often my clients come to me in pain, feeling lost and suffering with symptoms of anxiety and depression. During therapy, I often hear, “I finally have space in my head to think and energy to do the things I want to do.” Therapy is at its best when you are listened to in a deeper way. I have been told by clients that they feel I “make room” for them with a kind and personal approach. Imagine yourself feeling lighter, feeling joy, and having more energy. It is possible. I am a professional trauma therapist certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.) and trained in DBT and CBT. I am also informed in mind body bridging, TF-CBT, and motivational interviewing. I have experience in working with military, first responders, and women’s issues.My approach is to collaborate with clients to create a safe place for recovery. You are the expert on yourself, and I am privileged to be a guide as we walk together toward healing. Outside of work, I spend time with friends, family, and our huge dog. Skiing or swimming at any opportunity is a favorite as is getting my hands dirty in the garden.
