Trauma Expertise

My clinical focus has consistently centered on trauma and its impact across the eight dimensions of wellness. I completed my dissertation research on trauma and have pursued advanced training that includes recognition as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am actively completing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing so that I can offer an additional, research-supported option for processing traumatic memories and body-based responses.

I identify as an Assimilative Integrationist, which means I thoughtfully combine approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Experiential, and Positive Psychology within a strong ethical and scientific framework. This allows me to adapt strategies to your unique needs while maintaining clear structure, safety, and respect for the pace at which you are ready to work.
