Within individual work my initial focus is to form a strong foundation for a therapeutic relationship. My belief is that if you do not feel comfortable with me (which can take time) then treatment will not be as effective. I let sessions unfold organically and follow alongside your path being a guide. I help you to see patterns between your past and present while looking deeper to see where these patterns may be coming from. I am a trauma and Polyvagal informed therapist and assist you and learning about your nervous system to help decrease overarching distress. I utilize a variety of techniques to assist in treatment and tailor each treatment to the individual. My primary areas of treatment are trauma and dissociation. I also work with grief, depression, anxiety, life changes and transitions, and difficulties related to parenting.
