My Approach to Helping
As a licensed psychotherapist and a certified shame treatment specialist (CSTS), I am dedicated to providing personalized and confidential therapy for individuals seeking personal growth and healing.
Taking the courageous step to seek therapy is a testament to your commitment to emotional well-being. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and am committed to tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs. I use evidence-based therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Shame Treatment techniques. Your privacy is paramount in my practice. I provide a discreet environment to discuss your challenges, ensuring that all communications and sessions remain confidential.
I am now accepting United Health Insurance to make therapy more accessible. For those with insurance, I will bill through United Health, while maintaining the same level of confidentiality and personalized care.
Areas of Specialization:
Shame and Self-Worth Healing: As a Certified Shame Treatment Specialist, I specialize in helping individuals overcome feelings of shame and self-criticism that often hinder personal growth and well-being. Through targeted techniques and therapeutic support, we work together to cultivate self-compassion, heal from past wounds, and break free from the cycle of shame.

Together, we will empower you with effective coping strategies and emotional regulation techniques to foster long-term emotional resilience.
Trauma Recovery: I offer EMDR therapy for those who have experienced trauma or distressing events. This evidence-based approach helps reprocess traumatic memories, enabling you to integrate past experiences and reduce emotional pain.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS therapy allows you to explore and harmonize the different parts of yourself, fostering greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. You can use this link to watch a video by Dr. Tory Olds that describes the IFS model. https:tinyurl.commr2vywz8
