After 21 years in the field I still love my work. I have learned to design effective treatment based on the individual needs and not to use a one-size-fits-all approach. I think it is important for clients to know that eating disorder treatment does not mean getting fat, it means getting healthy!
Trauma occurs whenever we experience too much, too fast, too soon; and this does happen at various points in the lives of all human beings. Trauma loops occur when we are unable to complete the natural release of these experiences. Instead, these experiences become trapped in our bodies, emotions and thoughts. I can help you learn to release and let go of the loop.
Successful treatment of trauma must include working through memories of the trauma in an experiential way after the therapist and patient have established a foundation of safety and coping skills. Psychodynamic treatment seeks to understand the context of traumatic memories using a working through process that helps the patient acquire improved self-understanding and ego strength.
Specializing in trauma and PTSD, I provide trauma-informed care to help individuals heal from past traumatic experiences. Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as EMDR and CBT, I support clients in processing their trauma, reducing symptoms, and reclaiming their sense of safety and well-being.
