Experience with treating trauma:
I worked at a local rape crisis center and offered counseling to survivors of sexual assault. In therapy, clients acquired tools that offered a sense of control and peace in their lives.
At the same time, I became certified in Trauma Therapy through the Lisa Ferentz Institute. Now, I offer techniques to help soothe the emotional damage caused by the traumatic event.
In therapy, you can expect to incorporate tools to help manage anxiety/depression, such as deep breathing. Then, we complete a trauma-narrative, which allows to confront and overcome the traumatic event. In addition, we work together to reconnect and find meaning to life.

If you are experiencing a financial crisis, please ask me about services offered on a sliding scale fee.
