TRAUMA INFORMED CARE

What is Therapy

Therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Together, we will explore the challenges that have shaped your experiences, working through difficult emotions and patterns with compassion and honesty. While this process can be tough at times, it is through facing these challenges that true healing and strength emerge. I will provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space, guiding you as we uncover tools and insights to help you navigate life’s complexities. With commitment and collaboration, we can meet these challenges and build a life rooted in authenticity, purpose, and resilience.

What is Trauma Informed Care

Trauma Informed Care is a focus on patient care that establishes the physical and emotional safety of patients and staff

  • Build trust between providers and patients

  • Recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma exposure on physical and mental health

  • Promote patient-centered, evidence-based care

  • Ensure provider and patient collaboration by bringing patients into the treatment process and discussing mutually agreed upon goals for treatment

  • Provide care that is sensitive to the patient’s racial, ethnic, and cultural background, and gender identity

You are not broken

You are not beyond repair

You are important

You are worthy of love and care

This is a fight that we can win

Tailored Services

I have extensive experience working with veterans, sexual abuse survivors, LGBTQ+ individuals, among other communities. My work spans hospitals, addiction treatment centers, mental health facilities, and crisis response alongside first responders. These diverse experiences have equipped me to address a wide range of challenges, including trauma, addiction, systemic barriers, and identity exploration.

I believe in the power of resilience and authenticity, and I strive to guide my clients toward embracing their strengths and values as they work through difficult emotions, patterns, and experiences. My approach emphasizes acceptance, mindful awareness, and meaningful action, helping clients to reconnect with their values and foster a greater sense of purpose.

Using a tailored, integrative approach, I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and existential principles. My approach emphasizes acceptance, mindful awareness, and meaningful action.

Through this collaborative process, I aim to help my clients find clarity, navigate uncertainty, and create lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling. Together, we will explore the opportunities for growth, connection, and self-discovery that lie within.
