MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
I work with adults and adolescents, balancing insight oriented and skills building approaches.
ANXIETY
I'm passionate about working with anxiety. My approach is to help clients identify triggers, change self-talk, and find ways to feel more comfortable (both internally and in the world).
COUPLES THERAPY
I'm trained in the Gottman Method, Level 1. I work with couples to help them heal old wounds and develop skills that enhance the relationship.
FIRST RESPONDERS
I'm culturally competent in working with first responders and their loved ones. I am trained to do Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) debriefings. I'm affiliated with 911 At Ease International and The Counseling Team International.
EATING DISORDERS
I've worked with all types of disordered eating and related issues, both individually and in the treatment center setting. I served as Program Director for Central Coast Treatment Center (IOP) before going into private practice. Collaborating with other professionals that are a part of the treatment team is a priority.
STRESS & TRAUMA
I take time to create a safe container with my clients, that allows us to explore the roots of stress and trauma, while meeting it in the present moment. The ultimate goal is for clients to feel they can be present in their lives and relationships, without past trauma interfering with functioning.
