My approach is client-centered and collaborative, rooted in the belief that healing begins by recognizing and building on each person’s unique strengths. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a technique that can help the body heal from stored emotional pain. Through hope-inducing, goal-oriented, and compassionate support, I help individuals identify problem areas that may be trauma or may be something they did not know they could change. Not everything has to be rushed or fixed. We give it a felt sense, validate it, understand it and how it fits or doesn't fit in their life and brainstorm methods to help. We can discuss boundaries, self-awareness building skills, and work slowly. We can also gently discuss things that have been traumatic and process moments in small segments that will help build more inner strenghts and resources, beyond trauma, and toward empowered, meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), specialize in trauma-informed care, drawing from strength-based approaches to support lasting healing and growth. I am EMDRIA-trained. I also hold certificates in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy utilizing Internal Family Systems Parts Works (inner ecosystem perspectives), and Somatic EMDR Therapy, which allow me to help clients reconnect with their bodies, identify stored trauma, and restore a sense of presence and safety. My approach is gentle and builds up with time, presence, and safety.
