I would love to introduce you to our newest associate Ish-
โMy clinical focus includes developmental trauma, C-PTSD, and substance use disorders. I have experience working in residential, outpatient, and private practice settings working with adults and couples who are struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, intergenerational trauma, grief, anger, menโs health issues, and cultural identity. I have a particular interest in working with teens and adults with video game addiction and have previously ran a popular rap music process group in community mental health.
Individuals with complex trauma can often struggle with dissociation and have commonly experienced chronic attachment wounds. These injuries are pervasive, and clients report feeling an unshakeable despair deep within their bones from a chronic lack of feeling safe. We might feel numb, isolated in relationships, our bodies frozen, memories fade, anger spilling, and intrusive thoughts govern the mind. Substance use often serves as a way to cope, whether that looks like p**n, video games, alcohol, drugs, or ultra processed foods. We are geared towards survival, so we use available tools to help manage decades of pain and loss. You can move through the grief and numbing cycles.Therapy will begin by identifying resources and slowly building an alliance with the aim to support capacity for co-regulation. After working together to create a safe container, individuals and couples will be able to utilize resources whenever they are dysregulated to ground, break through negative patterns, and chase resilience.
I have training in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and am working towards my certification to be a Community Resiliency Model (CRM) Teacher. I integrate these modalities within a client-centered framework in my practice and focus on creating a safe atmosphere. Please reach out if you are interested in connecting!โ
