Mindfulness skills training that involves acknowledging internal experiences while engaging in actions that align with values.
Prolonged Exposure
Exposure to trauma-related internal and external experiences in a gradual and safe way that promotes effective processing of what happened.
Trauma Focused-CBT
Family-based treatment whereby children gain mastery over trauma responses through exposure as well as modification of unhelpful thought patterns.

Attachment, Regulation and Competency Framework
Young people who have experienced complex trauma gain self-regulation tools while their parents receive guidance on how to provide co-regulation.
I specialize in treating trauma, including complex developmental trauma. Many of my clients experience trauma symptoms that are commingled with other issues. Effective treatment requires recognizing how an individual's constellation of challenges are interconnected and impact overall functioning and sense of well-being. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. Keeping in mind that treatment is highly-individualized, these are some of the evidence-based strategies that I commonly integrate when treating trauma.
