Tree of Life Psychotherapy, Inc., Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Individuals: I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing impacts of past trauma and are ready to heal and move forward. I have over 10 years of experience working with complex trauma (C-PTSD). I am certified in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am also trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy. I believe both of these approaches are powerful tools to heal past trauma. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe it is important to work at a pace that feels safe to you. I will offer support, guidance, and empathy throughout the process. Couples: I also work with couples and specialize in helping couples understand the role of attachment in their relationship and uncover how attachment-trauma may be impacting the couple. I enjoy helping couples heal together so they can experience increased communication, connection, and joy in their relationship. I believe that you are the expert when it comes to your needs and goals for therapy. I use a strengths-based approach that encourages you to access the abilities and resources you have to promote healing. I have experience working with multiple concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma including sexual trauma and domestic violence. I am committed to the importance of understanding and addressing the impact of inequity and intersectionality on mental health and approach my work from this framework. I work with individuals, couples, and teenagers. I am accepting a limited number of new clients. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you to achieve your goals for your mental health.
