High satisfaction rate with clients
Clients report a lasting relationship
Nice to meet you
I have extensive experience addressing trauma in women who have been victims of domestic violence. My approach is mostly Psychodynamic with Cognitive Restructuring to help clients process past trauma and gain insight into establishing healthy boundaries. This has helped many gain self-confidence and self-empowerment to move forward as survivors. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychoeducation, and skill training to help clients develop tools to manage somatic and emotional symptoms, fostering a sense of control and self in their lives.
