Professional Statement
I'm so grateful you're taking steps towards treating yourself in kinder ways by seeking therapy, and hope you find the best fit for you. I have been passionately providing psychotherapy to a diverse range of adults since 2013, with specialty training in issues related to trauma/PTSD, depression, women's mental health, sleep, chronic pain/disability, grief, and tobacco addiction. These problems often become especially unmanageable following recent relational and life stressors, which accordingly may be the focus of our initial sessions. My theoretical orientation is integrative, with conceptual influences from cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and third-wave approaches.
Education/Experience
I have received extensive training in evidence-based practices for PTSD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and grief, mostly accrued throughout my work experience within multiple Veterans Affairs Health Care Systems. I have received certificates in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), brief Prolonged Exposure (PE-PC), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP). Additionally, I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which I especially enjoy implementing in my clinical work. I have some experience in providing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and most especially enjoy integrating DBT emotion regulation skills training into therapy. Finally, I have both participated and trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and in general I am a strong proponent of the use of mindfulness to transform and accelerate personal growth and development.
