I have worked with a variety of symptoms associated with PTSD and varying severities through coursework, graduate studies and internship experience. Having a personal impact from PTSD that I live with has made this diagnosis one that I strive to help the world understand and those that are experiencing PTSD better cope with.

I've worked with a range of depressive diagnosis including dysthmia, seasonal affective disorder, major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. I have developed a means to better understanding the triggers of depression and learning to manage and cope with this diagnosis.

Anxiety is a silent killer at times that has been getting more attention as of late. I have worked with children with anxiety who show psychosomatic symptoms and I have worked with adolescents, adults and the elderly regarding anxiety. Each individual experiences anxiety differently and I feel it is important to meet this concern head-on.

Every individual and situation is different. It's important to be able to come into the session with an open mind and know that theoretical approach does not always matter when you're with a client. What matters is providing the safe space and meeting each individual with an open mind and without judgement. I believe Eclectic Therapy describes the way that I practice, best.

CBT has many avenues. I believe that there are some individuals who need assistance with reframing or cognitive restructuring. Homework is something that can be beneficial at times for the client as it has been shown that work outside of therapy sessions is just as important as within the session.

Attachment is the root of all human existence. We thrive on relationships and connections around us and develop based on these experiences. Attachment goes back as far as when an individual is developing in the womb and can be looked at with various theories including transgeneration trauma.
