My work is deeply rooted in a desire to elevate standards of care. My approach is holistic, drawing from traditional, brain based and experiential therapies and is grounded in my personal belief in the intrinsic value of human life and our innate capacity for healing. Empathy and ConnectionCentral to my therapeutic approach is the establishment of a genuine and empathetic connection with my clients. By building strong, trusting relationships, I create a foundation for clients to explore new ways of being.Recovery and Healing TraumaI focus on healing trauma to address the root cause of maladaptive coping. In individual, group and family work, I incorporate experiential approaches which involve clients in active, hands-on experiences that facilitate emotional processing and self-discovery. This approach allows individuals to connect with their emotions and experiences in a tangible way, promoting deeper insights and fostering lasting change. I encourage clients to engage fully in the therapeutic process, harnessing their innate strengths and resilience to overcome challenges.Targeted Brain ProcessingI am committed to the application of the latest neuroscience research which affirms the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways. I am trained in brainspotting and currently scheduled to complete the second phase of training towards certification. I believe brainspotting is an effective and transformative tool which honors the mind's intrinsic ability to overcome adversity and achieve balance.Personal Experience and GrowthI understand firsthand the profound impact that effective therapy can have on individuals and their loved ones. By immersing myself in continuous learning and professional development, I ensure that my practice remains informed by the latest research and best practices in the field.Dedication to Advocacy and EmpowermentIntrinsic to my values as a social worker, I am deeply committed to advocating for the rights and well-being of my clients by working to ensure that they have access to the resources and support necessary for their recovery and growth. Vision for the FutureI am excited about new advances in the field of substance use and mental health. I am dedicated to raising the bar and contributing to the development and dissemination of experiential approaches, ensuring that more individuals can benefit from this powerful form of therapy. My ultimate goal is to inspire hope, facilitate healing, and support my clients in building fulfilling, resilient lives.
