My inspiration came from recognizing that the life events a child suffers in early childhood have an impact on the mental health of an adolescent and adult.
Advice to someone considering therapy for the first time.
Do your research and try a therapist out before making a definite decision. Not all clients and therapists are a “fit” for one another.
To address trauma based sxs I utilize EMDR therapy to assist clients with reprocessing traumatic life events to reduce mental health symptoms. I am certified in PCIT (parent child interactive therapy) which assists Parents with building a secure attachment with their child (ages 2-6 years old) and managing their child’s behaviors with evidenced based techniques.
I enjoy dining with friends and spending time poolside with family.
Favorite self-care activity – massage
A quote or philosophy that guides your work – “Making a change is hard. Staying the same is hard. Choose your hard”
