Areas of Expertise
Anxiety
In our sessions we work on coping with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder). I will provide techniques and support to overcome intense fear, anxiety, and panic related to specific triggers, such as heights or crowded spaces.
Depression
In our sessions I will provide support and promote healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life.
Childhood/Developmental Trauma
In our sessions I work with adults and assist them in processing emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from the past. I assist clients in recalling challenging memories and finding effective tools to be in the here and now. I work with my clients to ease the pain of the past and to live in peace in the present.
Grief/Loss and Bereavement
In our sessions we work on recovering from the death of a loved one, chronic illnesses, divorce, loss of a job or disenfranchised grief. I work with clients to process their feelings of shock, fear, guilt, anger, and sadness and to move towards healing, resiliency, and acceptance.
EMDR Trained
In our sessions we work on processing trauma through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). This process is thought to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, allowing individuals to heal from the trauma.
