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 also draw from 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 unresolved trauma may be impacting the couple and creating barriers to intimacy. 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. Understanding and addressing the impact of inequity and intersectionality on mental health is an important foundation for healing and I 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.
